2. TeraGrid Funded by the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) within the National Science Foundation (NSF) –Grid Infrastructure Group (GIG) Coordination software development and deployment Integration and tracking of general partnership activities Lead by University of Chicago/Argonne National Labs (Dane Skow) –Nine Computational Resource Providers (RP’s) –Four Software Integration Partners

3. August 2007 SDSC TACC UC/ANL NCSA ORNL PU IU PSC NCAR Caltech USC/ISI UNC/RENCI UW Resource Provider (RP) Software Integration Partner Grid Infrastructure Group (UChicago) TeraGrid Facility Partners

4. TeraGrid Objectives DEEP Science: Enable Petascale Science –Make science more productive through an integrated set of very-high capability computational resources Address key scientific challenges prioritized by users WIDE Impact: Empower Scientific Communities –Bring TeraGrid capabilities to the broad science community Partner with science community leaders – e.g. “Science Gateways” Create an OPEN Infrastructure, OPEN Partnership –Provide a coordinated, general purpose, reliable set of services and resources Partner with campuses and facilities

5. More Than Just Fast Computers Scientific Instruments ORNL SNS Control Data Generation Over 300 Tflops Computing 9 Resource Providers Applications Packages Security Start-up and Large Allocations Training Visualization Servers.

6. Users Come From Many Scientific Disciplines

7. TeraGrid Projects by Institution Blue: 10 or more PI’s Red: 5-9 PI’s Yellow: 2-4 PI’s Green: 1 PI 1000 projects, 3200 users TeraGrid allocations are available to researchers at any US educational institution by peer review. Exploratory allocations can be obtained through a biweekly review process. See www.teragrid.org.

8. How Can You Get Involved? Apply for an Allocation –Computing Resources –Applications Support Access through a Science Gateway Participate in EOT Activities –Institutes, Workshops, Online Tutorials –TG Conference Become a Resource Provider

9. Requesting Allocations of Computer Time TeraGrid resources are provided for free to academic researchers and educators through peer review process –Development Allocations Committee (DAC) for start-up accounts up to 30,000 hours of time are requests processed in two weeks –Medium Resource Allocations Committee (MRAC) for requests of up to 500,000 hours of time are reviewed four times a year –Large Resource Allocations Committee (LRAC) for requests of over 500,000 hours of time are reviewed twice a year
