[Icicle-announce] ICICLE Release 2023.10

[Guzman, Carlos]

ICICLE Release 2023.10


The ICICLE team aims to build the next generation Cyberinfrastructure (CI) to render Artificial Intelligence (AI) more accessible to everyone and to drive its democratization further in solving larger societal problems.

It is with great pleasure that we announce 2023.10 release of ICICLE CI components.


This release includes the following components:

New to ICICLE CI Catalog
Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure
AI for CI-for-AI

  *   High Performance Computing Applications Dataset v1.0<https://datacommons.tdai.osu.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.5072/FK2/CQUURW>
     *   The High Performance Computing Applications Dataset is a collection of information about loops in high-performance computing programs. The dataset includes details about different aspects of loops, like how many times they repeat and how they access data. It also provides advanced information about how the computer hardware behaves during the program's execution. This dataset is meant to help researchers and engineers improve their programs by understanding and optimizing these loops better.

Software Architecture and Design

  *   iciflaskn v1.0<https://pypi.org/project/iciflaskn/>
     *   The iciflaskn package provides a Flask blueprint that can be registered with your Flask application to endow it with Tapis Federated Authentication Service based on OAuth2. Please visit the Tapis documentaiton<https://tapis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/technical/authentication.html#oauth-clients> and Tapis APIs<https://tapis-project.github.io/live-docs/?service=Authenticator#tag/Clients> to learn how to setup an authentication client for your application.
