TeraGrid
• An instrument that delivers high-end IT resources/services– a computational facility – over two PFlop– Science Gateways –discipline-specific web-portal
front-ends – a data storage and management facility – over 20
PetaBytes– a high-bandwidth national data network
• Support, education and training events• Available freely to research and education projects with a US lead
3
TeraGrid Objectives
• DEEP Science: enabling terascale and petascale science– make science more productive through an integrated set
of very-high capability resources• address key challenges prioritized by users
• WIDE Impact: empowering communities– bring TeraGrid capabilities to the broad science community
• partner with science community leaders
• OPEN Infrastructure, OPEN Partnership– a coordinated, general purpose, reliable set of services
and resources• partner with campuses and facilities

The eXtreme Digital (XD) Program
• XD : third generation TeraGrid program
– 2002-2005: Distributed/Extended Terascale Facility– 2005-2011: Grid Infrastructure + Resource
Providers– 2010-2016: eXtreme Digital (XD) + Service
Providers
eXtreme Digital Resources
– High-Performance Computing and Storage Services • Track 2 awardees
– High-Performance Remote Visualization and Data Analysis Services• 2 awards; 5 years; $3M/year
– Integrating Services (5 years, $26M/year)• Coordination and Management Service (CMS)
– 5 years; $12M/year
• Technology Audit and Insertion Service (TAIS)– 5 years; $3M/year
• Advanced User Support Service (AUSS)– 5 years; $8M/year
• Training, Education and Outreach Service (TEOS)– 5 years, $3M/year
XSEDE : Governance
• Leadership– partnership led by NCSA, NICS, PSC, TACC and SDSC: CI centers
with deep experience– partners who strongly complement these CI centers with
expertise in science, engineering, technology and education• Balanced governance model
– strong central management, rapid response to issues and opportunities
– delegation and decentralization of decision-making authority– openness to genuine stakeholder participation
• stakeholder engagement, advisory committees
– improved professional project management practices• formal risk management and change control
6
XSEDE: Extending Impact
• Coordinated national program with greater scope and scale– increased diversity of topics, modes of delivery, and reach to
new communities and audiences– broaden participation among under-represented communities
• Campus bridging for effective use of CI resources– more tightly integrate with campuses through expanded
Champions program and additional bridging activities• Establish certificate and degree programs
– institutional incorporation of CS&E curricula; professional development certificate
– prepare undergraduates, graduates and future K-12 teachers

XD Coordination and Management Service
- design of the grid architecture- management of its implementation- management of accounting, authorization,
authentication, allocation and security services, - coordination of the component services- maintenance of a responsive, user-centric operational posture - coordination of those service providers that provide access to physical resources
10
Technology Audit and Insertion Service
- quality assurance and quality control - review and test advanced software tools for manipulating, processing and analysing very large amounts of information- testing advanced software tools and developing deployment strategies, in partnership with the relevant service providers.
