Our Story
WHO WE ARE
The COARE Project started in 2014, but DOST-ASTI's initiatives on grid computing and high-performance computing goes back to 2008. For over a decade, DOST-ASTI has seen the evolution of e-Science, which is a term coined to describe computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing and includes technologies that enable distributed collaboration. Since then, the Institute has gained considerable competence in grid computing, high performance computing, and cloud computing.
The setup of the COARE Facility was initially targeted to support disaster management efforts funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), which includes DOST-ASTI’s projects on the development and deployment of weather monitoring stations. However, DOST-ASTI also had collaborations in other fields such as bioinformatics and genomics, as well as in the areas of physics and marine science. Presently, the COARE caters to diverse users that includes meteorologists, weather scientists, climate researchers, marine scientists, bioinformatics and genomic scientists and researchers, and students.
WHAT WE AIM TO DO
The COARE Facility, with its modest size and capacity, serves as a critical facility which hosts applications in numerical modeling, climate modeling, rice genome sequencing, flood modeling, weather visualization, etc. However, with research projects that now handle large data sets that require fast processing and analysis, the increasing demand for an infrastructure and human resource to address these needs is crucial.
