Science Gateways

Science Gateways signal a paradigm shift from traditional high performance computing use. Gateways enable entire communities of users associated with a common scientific goal to use national resources through a common interface. Science gateways are enabled by a community allocation whose goal is to delegate account management, accounting, certificates management, and user support to the gateway developers.

You can view a complete list of current science gateways below. These gateways span disciplines and represent a broad spectrum of science community requirements. Gateways can take a variety of forms. We have seen three common instantiations:

• A gateway that is packaged as a web portal with users in front and TeraGrid services in back.
• A gateway that involves application programs running on users' machines (i.e. workstations and desktops) and accesses services in TeraGrid (and elsewhere).
• A gateway that bridges multiple grids, allowing communities to utilize both community developed grids and TeraGrid.

Scientific gateways can have varying goals and implementations. Some expose specific sets of community codes so that anonymous scientists can run them. Others may serve as a community portal that brings a broad range of new services and applications to the community. Some may provide access to data collections or the ability to create data products by analyzing data in a collection. Some provide remote visualization. A common trait of all gateways is their interaction with the TeraGrid through the various service interfaces that TeraGrid provides.

How to Turn Your Project into a Science Gateway

To become a Science Gateway on the TeraGrid, a project must have a current allocation on the TeraGrid.

• Check out the Science Gateways Primer.
• Small allocations can be requested by following the instructions on the Development Allocations page.
• Gateway PIs requesting larger amounts of time will want to review How to Write a Winning Gateway Proposal, developed by TeraGrid staff and allocation review committee members.
• Once an allocation has been made, please fill out the Community Account & Gateway Form if you are interested in participating.
• TeraGrid can provide limited support to help gateway developers utilize TeraGrid resources. To request support, follow the instructions on the Advanced Support Program page
• Contact the Science Gateways Coordinator if you have additional questions.
