The HORUS Project Whitepaper

This is the HORUS Project Whitepaper.  The HORUS project combines existing large-scale scientific data storage from the previously funded NSF OSiRIS project with a broad range of computational resources to enable accelerated scientific discovery for universities, colleges and community colleges in Michigan and the surrounding regions. The project focuses on providing easy access to diverse computing and storage resources, both of which are required for scientific research and analysis. This will be especially beneficial for researchers at smaller institutions, enabling them to more effectively contribute to society by expediting their research. In addition, through its connection to OSG and the PATh project, it will serve as an on-ramp to even larger scale resources across the nation when that is needed.
