To get the help you need, sometimes you have to break something first. Dirk Colbry admits, a bit sheepishly, that he made his debut in Michigan State University's high performance computing (HPC) center the hard way. As a graduate student investigating 3D face recognition for possible security applications, he'd been stringing together every computer he could get his hands on to get results. But the computational burden was overwhelming his Rube Goldberg cluster.

Have you ever dropped your brand new razor or a full bottle of hand soap on a tiled bathroom floor and wondered why it didn’t simply shatter into a dozen pieces or split apart and create a gooey mess? Maybe next time that happens, you’ll thank computer modeling and simulations, not just your lucky stars.

XSEDE is a set of resources and systems that thousands of researchers, scientists and engineers regularly use to do groundbreaking science. But how does an XSEDE user actually request time on supercomputers or ask for time with XSEDE-supported resource experts? As of now, XSEDE users turn to POPS (Partnerships Online Proposal System), a system that has been in place for users of NSF HPC users since the late 1990s. POPS, however useful it is for XSEDE, cannot be pulled out as a separate system – over the years it has become inextricably intertwined with its native environment.

"Science is really ripe for disruption. A lot of the practices are still very much rooted in their analog beginnings." That is how Kaitlin Thaney, director of the Mozilla Science Lab—a new open science initiative focused on innovation, best practice, and skills training for research—began her plenary talk at XSEDE13 in San Diego last month.
