FABRIC is a unique national research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge and exploratory research at-scale in networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing and storage systems, machine learning, and science applications.


COVID-19 Update

FABRIC leadership has been monitoring the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) constantly, and we have decided to change the April 2020 Community Workshop to virtual attendance. This decision was based on the latest scientific data being reported and the fact that a large number of registered attendees for this meeting would have had to travel. Click here to register for the workshop.

In addition to hosting this virtual workshop, we will be adding a face-to-face workshop to our Fall schedule. 


Additional FABRIC Workshops

Three additional workshops have been scheduled later this year. Please continue to check our website for more information.

Fall 2020 | FABRIC Face-to-Face Community Workshop

Fall 2020 | FABRIC Facilities & Federations Workshop

Q1  2021 | FABRIC Experimentation Workshop
