  2. What is TeraGrid Who can use it and how to get access Where can I find help Resources & Tools

  3. What is TeraGrid • National CI • Funded by NSF • Integrated resource network • Resource providers • Coordination body • High end computing resources • Detailed information at http://teragrid.org

  4. TeraGrid Who’s Who

  5. TeraGrid Objectives • DEEP Science: Enabling Petascale Science • Make science more productive through integrated set of advanced computational resources • WIDE Impact: Empowering Communities • Bring TeraGrid capabilities to the broad science community • OPEN Infrastructure, OPEN Partnership • Free and open to U.S. scientific research community and their international partners

  6. Who uses TeraGrid? • 28 Fields of Science • 288 Institutions • 1156 PIs • 1,059,204,537 SUs

  7. TeraGrid Usage Modes Snapshot

  8. Who are running on Purdue TG resources? • 22 Fields of Science • 84 Institutions • 143 PIs • 28,343,237 SUs

  9. Science and Education on TeraGrid

  10. TeraGrid Annual Conference • Showcases capabilities, achievements and impact of TeraGrid in research • Presentations, demos, posters, visualizations • Tutorials, training and peer support • Student competitions and volunteer opportunities • To be held July 2011 in Salt Lake City

  11. TeraGrid Resources at a Glance • Computing • MPP systems (Ranger, Kraken, LoneStar, Frost, Bigred, …) • SMP systems (Ember, Nautilus, Pople, Blacklight) • Various cluster systems (Abe, Queenbee, Steele, Lincoln, Dash) • Remote visualization servers and software • New viz resources (Nautilus – SGI Altix UV 1000; Longhorn - hybrid CPU/GPU Dell system) • Spur (CPU/GPU) • Distributed animation rendering (Condor) at Purdue/IU • High throughput resource • Purdue Condor pool 42,000+ CPUs • Data (archive storage, data movement)

  12. PSC UC/ANL PU NCSA IU NCAR 2009 (~1PF) ORNL Tennessee 2007 (504TF) LONI/LSU SDSC TACC TeraGrid Computing Systems Computational Resources (size approximate - not to scale) Slide Courtesy Tommy Minyard, TACC

  13. Who can use itHow do I get access • Free to US researchers • Get a TeraGrid allocation • Startup • Research • Education • Online application • PI gets an allocation • Add students and others in the group • Share allocated CPU time • Manage through TG user portal

  14. TeraGrid Campus Champions • Help and expertise at your local campus • Source of local help • Source of startup accounts: get started quickly! • Direct access to TG staff • Champion of the Champions http://www.teragrid.org/eot/campuschamps.html

  15. Too much information!

  16. Take away points • Free access to TeraGrid • Various scales of computing needs are supported • Help is right here on campus • Get an account now • We will help you apply for a larger allocation as you use more • We are here to help and collaborate.

  17. Contact: • Carol Song, carolxsong@purdue.edu • Kim Dillman, kadillma@purdue.edu • Kay Hunt, kay@purdue.edu • Info: Main site: http: //teragrid.org Resource catalog: https://www.teragrid.org/web/user-support/resources Information, documentation: http://teragrid.org Purdue Resource Provider information: http://www.purdue.teragrid.org Access to systems: TeraGrid User Portal (via teragrid.org) Purdue web site: http://springboard.purdue.teragrid.org

  18. Recommendations for New Users • Develop a Data Management plan • Understand your data workflow • Understand the data resources you will use • Automate the data workflow if possible • Almost all data may be useful in collaboration • Consider the long-term value of your data, and whether to donate it to a collection or organize it yourself
