TeraGrid. World’s largest distributed cyberinfrastructure for open scientific research, supported by US NSF
E N D
TeraGrid • World’s largest distributed cyberinfrastructure for open scientific research, supported by US NSF • Integrated high performance computers (>1.6 PF HPC & >27000 HTC CPUs), data resources (>3 PB disk, >60 PB tape, data collections), visualization, experimental facilities (VMs, GPUs, FPGAs) • DEEP: provide powerful computational resources to enable research that can’t otherwise be accomplished • Use of single system, or different systems for different parts of an application (batch/script) • Workflows, ensembles, parameter sweeps (batch/script/grid tools) • Remote steering/vis • Coupled simulations (co-scheduling, reservations) • WIDE: grow the community of computational science and make the resources easily accessible • Science Gateways (portal/grid tools, metascheduling) (17% of TG users) • Workflows, ensembles, parameter sweeps (batch/script/grid tools) • Exploration/porting • Integrating large science projects with extreme CI requirements (e.g., Spallation Neutron Source) • OPEN: connect with new resources and institutions • Use standards where practical/possible • Extensible – provide services users can build on • Integration: Single: portal, sign-on, help desk, allocations process, advanced user support, EOT, campus champions 2008
