Abstract
In the past, high performance computing consortia in Canada have
received separate grants for resources. Furthermore, a consortium s resources
have been primarily intended for users local to member institutions of the
consortium. Recently, the seven high performance computing consortia in Canada
worked together on a successful single CFI (Canadian Foundation for
Innovation) grant proposal, called the National Platform Fund. While users
will still be expected to try to meet computing needs from their local
consortium first, there will be a greater emphasis on the national sharing of
resources. With a much larger user base nationally, mechanisms for
authenticating users and authorizing access to resources need to be explored.
