What is the Open Science Grid?

The Open Science Grid (OSG) is a distributed computing infrastructure for large-scale scientific research, built and operated by a consortium of universities, national laboratories, scientific collaborations, and software developers. The OSG enables scientists to seamlessly harness grid-computing resources worldwide, and interoperates with multiple other grid infrastructures.

The OSG is also an Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Science Gateway. For more, see the OSG web site.

For more about Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Science Gateways, see the Science Gateways Overview and the list of current Science Gateways in the XSEDE User Portal. For information about registering and managing an XSEDE Science Gateway, see Gateways for principal investigators (PIs). For information about planning and designing an XSEDE Science Gateway, see The Role of the Developer.
