Abstract

ColdFront is an open source resource allocation management system, designed to provide a central portal for administration, reporting, and measuring scientific impact of cyberinfrastructure resources. It enables managing access to a diverse set of resource types across large groups of users and provides a rich set of extensible meta data for comprehensive reporting and integration with legacy systems. In this paper we introduce ColdFront, describe three main stakeholders, present the features and integrations currently implemented, and make the case for why ColdFront is vital to enabling research and reducing time-to-science. ColdFront is freely available at https://github.com/ubccr/coldfront.
