The needs of the scientific research community sit at the intersection of advanced technologies, big data, and global networks of collaboration. CANARIE’s Research Software program leverages national high performance digital infrastructure to facilitate the creation of software tools and services that equip researchers to maximize the potential of data to accelerate scientific research. The creation of a toolkit of reusable software services also reduces duplication in software development, and enables more research dollars to be focussed on research.
In this session, Scott Henwood will explain how CANARIE is changing the paradigm for research software development. The presentation will illustrate how this innovative model, based on the power of collaboration to maximize investments in resources, is resulting in the efficient development of new platforms that accelerate time to discovery. Recent ground-breaking and cross-discipline software services developed through this program will be showcased, highlighting the benefits of this collaborative initiative for the scientific community.
