  TeraGrid '11: Extreme Digital Discovery
  https://www.teragrid.org/web/tg11/home
  July 18-21, 2011
  Marriott Downtown Hotel
  Salt Lake City, Utah
  The TeraGrid 2011 conference will showcase the capabilities, achievements, and impact of the TeraGrid in research and education. The conference will also mark the beginning of the National Science Foundation's eXtreme Digital Resources for Science and Engineering program and will give scientists and engineers information on the resources and services to be provided through this successor to the TeraGrid.
  
  hat is TeraGrid? TeraGrid is an open scientific discovery infrastructure combining leadership class computing resources at 11 resource provider (RP) sites to create an integrated, persistent computational resource. Funded by the National Science Foundation(NSF), TeraGrid is the world's largest, most comprehensive resource in support of open scientific research.
  
  Where are the resources and what services exist? Using high-performance network connections, TeraGrid integrates high-performance computers, data resources and tools, and high-end experimental facilities across the country. Currently, TeraGrid resources include more than a petaflop of computing capability and more than 30 petabytes of online and archival data storage, with rapid access and retrieval over high-performance networks. Researchers can also access more than 100 discipline-specific databases. Additionally, each of the RP sites contributes human expertise to TeraGrid's culture of advanced user support. The Campus Champion program prepares professionals from more than 50 institutions across the nation to acquaint their faculty and staff with TeraGrid resources. With this combination of resources and services, TeraGrid is the world's largest, most comprehensive distributed cyberinfrastructure for open scientific research.
  
  Who can use it? The principal investigator (PI) must be a researcher or educator at a U.S.-based institution, including federal research labs and commercial organizations.
  
  Why use it? The best reason-there is no cost to qualified users. TeraGrid offers powerful computational hardware, large-capacity storage, visualization and data analysis systems, access to more than 100 scientific databases, licensed access to software, and advanced user support including assistance with porting code to its systems.
  
  How does TeraGrid help prepare the next generation of experts? TeraGrid sponsors multiple education, outreach, and training programs. There are ongoing efforts to collaborate with the Open Science Grid on a strategic workforce development initiative. Each summer, TeraGrid hosts more than 300 high performance computing enthusiasts at their annual conference where participants learn about advances in technology from TeraGrid personnel, campus champions, and users. The annual conference, TeraGrid'10, will be held August 2-5, 2010 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Participants will learn from a wealth of offerings including keynote addresses, presentations, poster sessions, and birds-of-a-feather discussion groups.
  
  TeraGrid is coordinated through the Grid Infrastructure Group (GIG) at the University of Chicago, working in partnership with the Resource Provider sites: Indiana University, the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the National Institute for Computational Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Purdue University, San Diego Supercomputer Center, Texas Advanced Computing Center, the University of Chicago/Argonne National Laboratory, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
