Our mission
Connecting diverse research communities into one shared infrastructure
NSF BRIDGE builds on Apache Texera (Incubating), an open-source, web-based workflow system for data science, real-time collaboration, workflow sharing, and elastic cloud computing.
The Center provides not just software, but also services such as training, documentation, support, and scalable, on-demand computing. It coordinates these systems across communities so domain scientists can harness state-of-the-art data science and AI, even with limited programming or local computing.
