Software Infrastructure to Enable Modeling & Simulation as a Service (M&SaaS) (M&Saas)
Completed
TRL 6 (started at 5, targeting 6)
Description
The Software to Enable Modeling and Simulation as a Service (M&SaaS) project will design a software architecture for the authentication system and associated proxy, confirm with NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) personnel that the design is compliant with existing security policy, then implement the design in a local development environment .Th eproject will also update Frontier Portable Batch System (PBS) provisioning system and Frontier NASA Unified Weather Research and Forecasting (NU-WRF) packages to support the NAS environment and the resulting software will be bundled for NAS deployment Deploy and test Frontier and NU-WRF software on NAS, with patch updates applied to address bugs or deficiencies.

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
