What is XSEDE?

The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data and expertise. People around the world use these resources and services — things like supercomputers, collections of data and new tools — to improve our planet.

Get Started with XSEDE

  • Researchers
    The National Science Foundation's eXtreme Digital (XD) program is making new infrastructure and next-generation digital services available to researchers and educators to handle the huge volumes of digital information
  • Service Providers
    Service Providers - entities that make a resource visible and coordinated with the national cyberinfrastructure for benefit to the research community - are central to the function of XSEDE
  • College Students
    The goals of the student engagement program are to prepare and sustain a larger, more diverse pool of undergraduate and graduate students to be future researchers and educators. Students will be recruited nationally.
  • Community Outreach
    Increasing diversity is vital to America's future and is a foundation for two of XSEDE's strategic goals: Preparing the current and next generation of scholars, researchers, practitioners, and engineers in the use of advanced digital technologies
