XSEDE has now concluded formal operations as a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project.
Similar services are now operated through NSF’s follow-on program, Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: services & Support, or ACCESS.
XSEDE Overview
XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment) brings supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools to researchers around the globe. It enables users to complete their analyses on a larger scale in a highly-collaborative computing environment. By leveraging the power of supercomputing, users do their work faster to bring their discoveries to the community at the pace of science today.
XSEDE currently has 16 supercomputers, visualization, and data analysis resources available to its users. These computing centers are linked across the United States through an advanced fiber optic network, but are accessed from a user's home computer. Individual computing clusters are optimized to fit particular project workflows, and have a vast array of installed applications.
The XSEDE site provides a detailed overview of available resources and mission statement.
The CBSA and XSEDE
Members of the CBSA can apply for their approved projects to receive computational time and resources on XSEDE. This allows for a larger project allocation beyond the basic XSEDE user account.
The CBSA provides a Campus Champion to consult with its members. This CBSA member bridges the gap between the CBSA member base and XSEDE's high-performance computing environment to assist with:
