XSEDE: Accelerating Scientific Discovery

Computing in science and engineering is now ubiquitous: digital technologies underpin, accelerate, and enable new, even transformational, research in all domains. Access to an array of integrated and well-supported high-end digital services is critical for the advancement of knowledge. Driven by community needs, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) project substantially enhances the productivity of a growing community of scholars, researchers, and engineers (collectively referred to as "scientists"\´ throughout this article) through access to advanced digital services that support open research. XSEDE\´s integrated, comprehensive suite of advanced digital services federates with other high-end facilities and with campus-based resources, serving as the foundation for a national e-science infrastructure ecosystem. XSEDE\´s e-science infrastructure has tremendous potential for enabling new advancements in research and education. XSEDE\´s vision is a world of digitally enabled scholars, researchers, and engineers participating in multidisciplinary collaborations to tackle society\´s grand challenges.
