Partners¶

Vishwanath Grid is a federation. Every partner contributes capacity to the pool and shares in the result. We are actively looking for new university and lab partners.

What partners contribute¶

Compute hardware — anywhere from a single workstation to a rack of servers — physically located on the partner campus.
A point of contact for site-local operations (typically a research-computing administrator already on campus).
A short MoU describing acceptable use and accounting.

What partners get in return¶

Access to the entire federated compute pool for the partner's researchers, with no per-job cost.
A single sign-on identity for every research-computing tool — partner researchers reach the scheduler, data store, and dashboards with one login.
End-to-end visibility into the partner's own usage and accounting. No shadow consumption, no surprise bills.
Operational support from the Vishwanath Grid team for the on-campus install.

Become a partner¶

To start a conversation, see Contact. A partnership starts with a 30-minute call to understand your campus, what compute you already have, and what your researchers need.
