For more than 10 years, scientists, researchers, and engineers used the TeraGrid supercomputer network funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)
to conduct advanced computational science. The SEI has joined a
partnership of 17 organizations and helped develop the successor to the
TeraGrid called the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE).
This posting, which is the first in a multi-part series, describes our
work on XSEDE that allows researchers open access—directly from their
desktops—to the suite of advanced computational tools and digital
resources and services provided via XSEDE. This series is not so much
concerned with supercomputers and supercomputing middleware, but rather
with the nature of software engineering practice at the scale of
socio-technical ecosystem.
