<br>
i hope i find you safe and healthy, all things considered!<br>
<br>
i am writing to clarify access conditions for HPC resources under the<br>
NLPL umbrella. our original NeIC-funded project completed last year,<br>
such that we need to establish a new framework for collaboration that<br>
will allow KU researchers to gain access to the NLPL virtual<br>
laboratory. these days, i am seeing several requests for access from<br>
what i believe are your (post-)doctoral fellows (emanuele, maria,<br>
miryam, rahul).<br>
<br>
fortunately, both the norwegian and finnish national providers have in<br>
principle agreed that we can continue the 'blanket' collaboration with<br>
the members of the original NLPL consortium (which included KU) under<br>
the auspices of the new EOSC-Nordic project, where oslo and helsinki<br>
participate as representatives of the nordic NLP research community.<br>
<br>
personally, i believe it is worth being somewhat organized about this,<br>
as NLP research is slated to become one of the prioritized user<br>
communities on the forthcoming EuroHPC LUMI system, which starting<br>
from mid-2021 is likely to bring gpu deluge to northern europe:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://datacenter.csc.fi/wp/about-lumi/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://datacenter.csc.fi/wp/about-lumi/</a><br>
<br>
in a nutshell, we will need to establish a KU faculty member to act as<br>
the site representative and 'authorize' requests for access from your<br>
community. this is a relatively low-key tasks, but every now and i<br>
again i need to be able to double-check with you whether a specific<br>
user is in fact (still) affiliated with KU.<br>
<br>
i see that daniel now is an assitant professor in your department<br>
(congratulations :-). seeing as we collaborate around the 2020 CoNLL<br>
shared task already, would it make sense to appoint daniel to the role<br>
of KU site representative in the NLPL umbrella?<br>
<br>
best wishes, oe<br>
