## Welcome to the Open Science Grid Documentation Pages

### What We Do

The OSG facilitates access to distributed high throughput computing for research in the US.
The resources accessible through the OSG are contributed by the community, organized by the OSG, and governed by the OSG consortium.
In the last 12 months, we have provided more than 1.2 billion CPU hours to researchers across a wide variety of projects.

To see the breadth of the OSG use, [explore our accounting portal](https://gracc.opensciencegrid.org).

### Submit Locally, Run Globally

Researchers can submit batch jobs from their home institution - or OSG-provided submit points - in order to access their local resources and expand
elastically out to the OSG, leverage the distributed nature of our consortium.

### Sharing Is Key

*Sharing is a core principle of the OSG.*  Over 100 million CPU hours delivered on the OSG in the past year were opportunistic: they would have remained on but idle
if it wasn't for the OSG. Sharing allows individual researchers to access larger computing resources and large organizations to keep their utilization high.

### Resource Providers

The Open Science Grid consists of computing and storage elements at over 100 individual sites spanning the United States.
These sites, primarily at universities and national labs, range in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of CPU cores.
If you represent a university computing cluster and are interested in providing computing cycles opportunistically to the OSG,
contact us at user-support@opensciencegrid.org.

### The OSG Software Stack

The OSG provides an integrated software stack to enable high throughput computing; [visit our technical documents website for information](docs/).
