FABRIC, a unique resource in the NSF cyberinfrastructure ecosystem, is now part of ACCESS Resource. FABRIC is an internationally distributed set of equipment at commercial colocation spaces, labs and campuses. Its mission is to “explore impactful new ideas that are impossible or impractical with the current internet,” and its infrastructure enables cutting-edge experimentation and research at scale. Each node offers significant compute and storage, and all are interconnected by high-speed, dedicated optical links. 

The Sage Edge Computing Platform is no ordinary CPU, GPU or storage resource, but a unique platform, a “new kind of national-scale cyberinfrastructure to enable AI at the edge for science.” The ACCESS community can learn more about Sage in the ACCESS Resource Catalog under “Northwestern U Sage Edge Computing Platform.” Sage is a distributed, intelligent sensor network that enables researchers to explore AI techniques to better understand natural and built environments. Throughout vast areas that span the U.S.
