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.
1000 projects, 3200 users
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
