SUMMARY:Invited Talk: The Campus Compute Cooperative Project as an Alterna
 tive to Commercial Clouds
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nClouds and Distributed Computing, Education, HPC Cen
 ter Planning and Operations, Heterogeneous Systems, Scientific Computing, 
 State of the Practice, Workshop Reg Pass, Datacenter\n\nInvited Talk: The 
 Campus Compute Cooperative Project as an Alternative to Commercial Clouds\
 n\nGrimshaw\n\nWide-area, federated, compute-sharing systems (such as Cond
 or, gLite, Globus, and Legion) have been around for over twenty years. Out
 side of particular domains such as physics, these systems have not been wi
 dely adopted. Recently, however, universities are starting to propose and 
 join resource-sharing platforms. Why this sudden change?\n\nMostly, this c
 hange has come in response to cost concerns. HPC managers are under new pr
 essure from university administrators who demand that infrastructure outla
 ys be economically justified. "Why not just put it all on Amazon?" goes th
 e administration's refrain. In response, HPC managers have begun to docume
 nt the true cost of university-, department-, and research-group-owned inf
 rastructure, thus enabling a legitimate cost comparison with Amazon or Azu
 re. Additionally, it may be noted, this pressure to consider outsourcing c
 omputing infrastructure has legitimized both remote computing and paying f
 or computation.\n\nIn this talk, I will briefly describe the Campus Comput
 e Cooperative's (CCC). I will then detail both the results of our market s
 imulations and the take-aways from interviews with stakeholders.  By both 
 of these measures, the CCC is valuable and viable: first, the simulation r
 esults clearly show the gains in institutional value; second, stakeholders
  indicated that many institutions are open to trading resources. Most prom
 ising, some institutions expressed interest in selling resources and other
 s expressed willingness to pay.
