California Berkeley, Rice University, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It is led by the University of Illinois's National Center for Supercomputing Applications. XSEDE concluded formal operations as a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project on August 31, 2022. Similar services are now operated through NSF’s follow-on program, Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support, or ACCESS. University of Texas Research Cyberinfrastructure (UTRC) Project The UT System Research Cyberinfrastructure Project (UTRC) is an initiative that allows researchers at all 15 UT System institutions to access advanced computing research infrastructure. As part of the UTRC, UT system researchers have unique access to TACC resources including TACC’s Lonestar, a national XSEDE resource, and Corral, a high-performance storage system for all types of digital data. iPlant Collaborative The iPlant Collaborative is a 5-year, 50 million dollar NSF project (awarded in 2008) that uses new computational science and cyberinfrastructure solutions to address challenges in the plant sciences. iPlant integrates high-performance petascale storage, federated identify management, on-demand virtualization, and distributed computing across XSEDE sites behind a set of REST APIs. These serve as the basis for presenting community-extensible rich web clients that enable the plant science community to perform sophisticated bioinformatics analyses across a variety of conceptual domains. In September 2013 it was announced that the NSF had renewed iPlant’s funding for a second 5-year term with an expansion of scope to all non-human life science research. STAR Partners Program The Science and Technology Affiliates for Research Program offers opportunities for companies to increase their effectiveness through utilizing TACC’s computing technologies. Current STAR partners include corporations BP, Chevron, Dell, Green Revolution Cooling, Intel, and Technip. Digital Rocks Portal A sustainable, open and easy-to-use repository that organizes the images and related experimental measurements of diverse porous materials, improves access of porous media analysis results to a wider community of geosciences and engineering researchers not necessarily trained in computer science or data analysis, and enhances productivity, scientific inquiry, and engineering decisions founded on a data-driven basis. Supercomputer clusters Stampede Stampede was one of the most powerful machines in the world for open science research. Funded by the National Science Foundation Grant ACI-1134872 and built in partnership with Intel, Dell and Mellanox, Stampede was stood up in September 2012, and brought online on January 7, 2013. Stampede comprised 6400 nodes, 102,400 CPU cores, 205 TB total memory, 14 PB total and 1.6 PB local storage. The bulk
