Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is a free infrastructure that integrates advance digital resources and services into one accessible location which allows people all over the world to easily share information and data. Scientists around the world use the resources and services in order to make the world a better place.

XSEDE has developed and replaced the former grid computing infrastructure TeraGrid. Currently, XSEDE supports 16 supercomputers and resources across the country. It is operated by the University of Illinois's National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). XSEDE is a five-year, $121 million project supported by the National Science Foundation. [1]

History

XSEDE officially began on July 1, 2011 and is led by John Towns at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. [2]
