XSEDE

Funded by NSF, XSEDE[1] stands for The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment. Per its website, "XSEDE is a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data and expertise."

"The XSEDE ecosystem encompasses a broad portfolio of resources operated by members of the XSEDE Service Provider Forum. These resources include multi-core and many-core high-performance computing (HPC) systems, distributed high-throughput computing (HTC) environments, visualization and data analysis systems, large-memory systems, data storage, and cloud systems. "

XSEDE Campus Champion

Montana Tech has joined the XSEDE's Campus Champions Program[3]. With the XSEDE Campus Cahmpion Program, you can:

• evaluate or benchmark your project on various XSEDE resources through our campus champion allocation.
• get assistance for applying allocations on XSEDE resources.
• get help on using XSEDE resources.

Our campus champion allocations provide test access at:

• STAMPEDE2 at Texas Advanced Computing Center
• Bridges at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
• Comet at San Diego Supercomputer Center
• Jetstream at Indiana University
• Open Science Grid

NCAR/CISL

NCAR, National Center for Atmospheric Research through CISL, The Computational and Information Systems Laboratory, offers computing resources[4] to university researchers with some restrictions:

• The work must be within the atmospheric, climate, and related science
• Allocations must either be supported by an NSF reward; or to a grad student, post-doc or new faculty without a funded science award
