Bridging CI Software Technologies to XSEDE NSF-funded and other CI software technologies 2 XSEDE TIS XSEDE

What is XSEDE? • XSEDE is the follow-on to Tera. Grid and is the virtual organization of 17 institutions/120 FTE providing services and support for the users of NSF-OCI’s computational science resources. – CMS – coordination and management services • architecture, software integration, systems engineering, operations, allocations, project mgmt – ECSS – extended collaborative support services – TEOS – training, education, and outreach services – 5 -year award started July 1, 2011 3

XSEDE supporting scientific software development • Startup allocations up to 200, 000 hours, – Easy access - submit abstract and CV • Extended Collaborative Support – Programmers/domain scientists to assist you: 40 FTE – Port, optimize, parallelize your code – Community Code evaluation and support • Training and Education – For you – asynchronous online and live events – By you – assist with developing and advertising your training/education 4

XSEDE-TIS Technology Insertion Service • Separate award from XSEDE, 5 years, started July 1, 2010. • Mission: to continuously track, evaluate, and recommend advanced CI technologies to XSEDE and the broader HPC community • Five activities – – – XTED: XSEDE Technology Evaluation Database Technology Evaluation Process Technology Evaluation Test-bed Technology Insertion Support Community Satisfaction and Impact Evaluation

XSEDE Architecture is User-Driven 6

What is XTED? • XSEDE Technology Database (XTED) to identify, track, compare, collect user feedback on, and help the XSEDE team make decisions on what technologies would have the most impact. • XTED is open for CI Developers to enter technologies, update that information, respond to user comments and requests, and identify new development opportunities. • XTED enables Users to request features of XSEDE in general and of specific technologies, and to influence decisions for XSEDE staff in evaluating technologies. • XTED enables XSEDE Staff to communicate with users and CI developers to make decisions on projects to evaluate. XTED is a unique resource for advancing large-scale open science cyberinfrastructure--in XSEDE and beyond. 7

Technology Evaluation Process • Initial Planning – Identify team lead and familiarize with product • Test Plan – Test developer specifications vs the expected use in the XSEDE environment • Testing – Local testbeds, Futuregrid, XSEDE • Final Report – Feedback to developer and publish to XTED 8

Technology Insertion Support • Documentation for installation, configuration, and testing for XSEDE production environment developed from evaluation process • Provides support to XSEDE software integration team for technologies added to the XSEDE services 9

How Can You Participate? • Visit TIS project at http: //tis. xsede. org and create an account. – Enter new technologies – Enter request into XTED for capabilities – Enter requests for new features of technologies – Make comments on existing entries

Summary • XSEDE TIS project provides dedicated expertise to identifying, evaluating, and recommending/installing new technology capabilities into XSEDE • XTED will be the primary interface for users and for CI technology developers to enter technology • XTED is in production at http: //tis. xsede. org
