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

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.
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
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

TeraGrid Science Gateways Initiative:Community Interface to Grids
• Common Web Portal or application interfaces (database access, computation, workflow, etc).
• “Back-End” use of TeraGrid computation, information management, visualization, or other services.
Gateways are Growing in Numbers• 10 initial projects as part of TG proposal• >20 Gateway projects today• No limit on how many gateways can use
TG resources– Prepare services and documentation so
developers can work independently
