The Sunshine State Education and Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) is a collaboration between 7 public universities in Florida - Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, University of Florida, University of Miami, and University of South Florida - as well as 2 affiliate universities. SSERCA brings together the high-performance computing resources of these universities to form a statewide grid that provides members access to shared cyberinfrastructure, intellectual resources, and research collaborations. The goal is to leverage the combined technological and intellectual capabilities of the universities to advance scientific discovery and economic development in Florida.

Alliance Member Benefits • Access to statewide research resources and shared cyberinfrastructure • Start-up investment savings • Shared intellectual resources • National and international meeting participation • Competitive research edge • Support for statewide education and research collaborations • Joint organizational, information meetings • Advanced training opportunities • Public/ private partnerships Florida’s public and private universities are home to talented scientists, high-end computing facilities, massive data storage systems, highly specialized research instruments, and high- speed networks. The Sunshine State Education & Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) brings together these geographically distributed organizations and resources in such a way that their collective impact is far greater than the sum of their individual parts. Individually, the high performance computing centers at Florida’s universities are vital re- sources for advanced research. Organized into a statewide grid linked by software and advanced networks (Florida Lambda Rail) these centers acquire a potential for far greater discovery. By combining their technological and intel- lectual resources, SSERCA members are helping Florida forge a leadership position in economic development, industry-academia cooperation, and future workforce creation. Typical Research Areas • Aerospace • Aging • Biomedical Engineering • Climate Change • Coastal Watersheds • Community Health • Cyber-infrastructure • Family Medicine • Geophysical Threats • Medical Prostheses • Neuroscience • Smart Sensors • Vector Borne Diseases SSERCA members are engaged in a partner- ship to develop a collaborative research data infrastructure that will enable researchers within the state to work efficiently on projects involving large, multi TB data sets.
