  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
