An interview with NRP (National Research Platform)

In this case study

The integration between the National Research Platform (NRP) and Vocareum’s AI Notebook marks a major step forward in expanding access to high-performance AI infrastructure for both research and education. By connecting students and faculty to GPU-powered resources through the cloud, this collaboration simplifies AI experimentation and enables scalable, hands-on learning. With Vocareum’s user-friendly platform and NRP’s advanced computing capabilities, institutions can now deliver real-world AI experiences without the complexity of managing infrastructure—empowering the next generation of researchers and educators to innovate with confidence.

Expanding Access to AI in Research and the Classroom: Vocareum’s AI Notebook Now Connects to NRP Resources

At the 6NRP conference earlier this year, Vocareum demonstrated a significant advancement in making AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and generative AI (GenAI) more accessible to both researchers and educators. We are thrilled to announce this milestone today.And we’re excited to announce it today. 

With its new integration, Vocareum’s AI Notebook now directly connects to National Research Platform (NRP) resources, enabling institutions to run GPU-powered AI workloads without the complexity of setting up dedicated infrastructure.

This integration ensures that students and faculty alike can access the same powerful computing resources used in top-tier research labs, whether for AI model development, experimentation, or real-world applications.

What is NRP?

The National Research Platform (NRP) is a federated ecosystem designed to connect and enhance research and education through scalable, high-performance computational resources. It brings together researchers, educators, and computing experts to discuss and advance distributed computing, high-throughput computing (HTC), and AI-driven research infrastructure.

By integrating Vocareum’s AI Notebook with NRP’s distributed computing resources, institutions of all sizes can now provide students and faculty with access to the same cutting-edge AI infrastructure used by top research institutions—directly from the cloud.

A Future of Scalable AI Education and Research

The ability to seamlessly connect AI education and research with high-performance computing resources represents a major shift in how institutions approach AI learning. Instead of being constrained by on-premises limitations, students and researchers can now:

  • Train and fine-tune GenAI models using cloud-based GPU resources.
  • Conduct real-time AI inference without infrastructure setup.
  • Collaborate on AI projects across institutions with a shared computing framework.
  • Scale AI workloads as research and classroom needs grow.

 

At 6NRP, the demonstration highlighted how Vocareum and NRP together are enabling a new era of AI accessibility—one where students, faculty, and researchers can leverage state-of-the-art AI infrastructure from anywhere.

What specific features of Vocareum’s platform made it the best fit for delivering the labs?

Vocareum’s platform was efficient for delivering labs due to:

  • Real AWS cloud environments for hands-on experience
  • Lab instructions on the platform
  • Automated grading and detailed feedback

Although, an IDE with VS Code containers would have been ideal for the Data Engineering courses. However, we faced various issues and had to explore alternative solutions.
