Through Boston University and Red Hat’s expanded partnership, the Red Hat Collaboratory seeks to create secure, reliable, scalable, self-operating, distributed, heterogeneous compute platforms that stretch from edge devices to cloud datacenters. Funded projects show promise for advancing their fields and impacting industry. The Red Hat Collaboratory is housed within the Boston University Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering, which has provided strategic and administrative guidance for the Collaboratory and this new funding program.
