The TeraGrid and Scalable Computational Science Research at NCSA

This talk will focus on the cyberinfrastructure provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) TeraGrid in its current state and envisioned future, and on the roles of the National Computational Science Alliance (Alliance) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). The Alliance, with NCSA as its leading edge site, is one of the two partnerships supported by the NSF's Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure program. The high performance computing environment, the associated technological infrastructure, and the large-scale applications in science and engineering, particularly computational science research that exploit these technologies, will be discussed briefly.
