BY GINA MANTICA Orran Krieger’s career has focused on solving challenging computing problems that impact society. Nearly ten years after he first had the idea for creating a truly “open” production cloud, Krieger’s vision has transformed into reality: a community of researchers, engineers, and information technology (IT) professionals are all working together to accelerate the […]
The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) made an announcement last month of allowing outside researchers to access it’s high speed computing systems to facilitate the process of resolution of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. The blog gives a brief overview on the computing capacity of the state-of-the-art infrastructure that MGHPCC has. It also talks about […]

Orran Krieger, BU lead on the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC), has seen open cloud services provide advantageous opportunities for companies to innovate and manage at the infrastructure level. While Krieger acknowledges the heavy financial burden of a private cloud on not-for-profit universities, with the cost of purchasing their own equipment being much lower than the large capital investment […]
Please join us for the Differential Privacy Meets Multi-Party Computation (DPMPC) workshop.
In early January, Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source enterprise software, and the Hariri Institute for Computing announced a groundbreaking partnership aimed at advancing research into emerging and translational technologies, such as cloud computing and big data platforms. During a five-year partnership, Red Hat will invest a total of $5 million in creating the Red Hat Collaboratory at Boston University (Red Hat […]
The Institute is pleased to announce it has received a $1M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to build a framework that allows for analytics to be performed over shared datasets while protecting the data, even from collaborators. Led by PI Mayank Varia, Co-Director of the BU RISCS Center, the project will integrate three […]
