TeraGrid Resources and Services• Computing - nearly a petaflop of computing power today and
growing– 500 Tflop Ranger system at TACC– NICS (U Tenn) system to come on-line in July– Other systems will be coming on-line through NSF/OCI funding
• Centralized help desk among all resource providers• Remote visualization servers and software• Data
– Allocation of data storage facilities – Over 100 Scientific Data Collections
• Central allocations process • Technical Support
– Central point of contact for support of all systems– Advanced Support for TeraGrid Applications (ASTA)– Education and training events and resources– Over 20 Science Gateways
Requesting Allocations of Time
• TeraGrid resources are provided free to academic researchers and educators
• Development Allocations Committee (DAC) for start-up accounts up to 30,000 hours of time are requests processed in two weeks - start-up and courses
• 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
