Other Resources for Researchers

Other resources that are available to researchers including high-performance and high-throughput computing options, machine learning platform, and science gateways information. Are there others you can contribute to the list?

Resource	Link	Description / Notes
ACCESS	https://access-ci.org/	"ACCESS is a program established and funded by the National Science Foundation to help researchers and educators, with or without supporting grants, to utilize the nation’s advanced computing systems and services – at no cost."
OSG: Open Science Grid	https://opensciencegrid.org	NSF and DOE-funded grid "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." Available to: All researchers
Expanse	https://www.sdsc.edu/services/hpc/expanse/index.html	National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded supercomputer, Expanse has over twice the performance of SDSC’s Comet system, Expanse supports SDSC's vision of 'Computing without Boundaries' by increasing the capacity and performance for thousands of users of batch-oriented and science gateway computing, and by providing new capabilities that will enable research increasingly dependent upon heterogeneous and distributed resources composed into integrated and highly usable cyberinfrastructure.
Comet	https://www.sdsc.edu/services/hpc/hpc_systems.html#comet	"Comet is SDSC’s petascale supercomputer designed to transform advanced scientific computing by expanding access and capacity among traditional as well as non-traditional research domains." Trial account (1,000 core-hours), requests fulfilled within 1 working day. Research Allocations also available.
TSCC: Triton Shared Compute Cluster	https://www.sdsc.edu/services/hpc/hpc_systems.html#tscc	SDSC's HPC resource for investigators. Choose from Condo (shared ownership) or Hotel (pay as you go) model computing options. Free Trial Accounts (250 core-hours valid for 90 days)
HPC@UC	https://www.sdsc.edu/collaborate/hpc_at_uc.html	An easier route toward a Expanse or Comet Allocation. Applications are reviewed by a UC committee vs having to go through NSF committee approval.
SGCI: Science Gateways Community Institute	https://sciencegateways.org	Science gateways allow science & engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, educational materials, and other resources specific to their disciplines. Browse the catalog to find discipline-specific gateways.
