Scientists, engineers, social scientists, and humanities experts around the world— many of them at colleges and universities—use advanced digital resources and services every day. Things like supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools are critical to those researchers success. The researchers use them to make us all healthier, safer, and better off. (LINK TO Find out more about what scientists will do with the XSEDE infrastructure.)
XSEDE integrates these resources services, makes them easier to use, and helps more people use them.

XSEDE supports 16 supercomputers around the country. (LINK TO Details on these resources are available. RESOURCES/DIGITAL SERVICES.)

XSEDE also provides an array of services to ensure that researchers can make the most of the supercomputers and tools. Those include:

• Advanced User Support that includes teaming with individual research groups over long periods of time, as well as working with entire research communities to extend their capabilities.
• An advanced hardware and software architecture that allows for individualized user experiences, consistent and enduring software interfaces, improved data management, and ways for campus resources to be transparently integrated into the overall XSEDE infrastructure.
• The XSEDE User Portal, a web interface that allows users to monitor and access XSEDE resources, manage jobs on those resources, report issues, and analyze and visualize results.
• A powerful and extensible network in which each XSEDE service provider is connected to a Chicago-based hub at 10 gigabits per second and has a second 10 gigabit per second connection to another national research and education network.
• Specialized community-provided services that serve a particular function and allow for rapid innovation and experimentation.
• Advanced cybersecurity to ensure that XSEDE resources and services are easily accessible to users but protected against attack.
• Training, Education, and Outreach, including advanced support for novel and innovative projects that expand participation in XSEDE-based projects, curriculum development, and more traditional training opportunities.
• A fellowship program that brings campus-based users to work closely over the course of months with advanced user support staff at XSEDE service provider institutions.
• Technology Insertion Service, which allows researchers to recommend technologies for inclusion in the XSEDE infrastucture and then allow the XSEDE team to evaluate those technologies and incorporate them where appropriate.
