Important Changes!

After almost five years of operation, the FutureGrid project will come to an end on September 30th. There will be several options for current users who wish to continue their work after that date.

The Indiana University machines Xray, India, Bravo, Delta, Echo will continue running roughly as is for both education and research (with greater use of Cloudmesh tool and a different access portal), and additional possibilities via other projects will be described in a detailed announcement in the next few weeks. In particular, we expect that testbeds funded by the NSFCloud solicitation (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13602/nsf13602.htm) will be available to welcome FutureGrid users as FutureGrid is ending. These testbeds will focus on supporting research and development in cloud computing. Further High performance computing and data intensive computing users can request time on other XSEDE resources.

See https://www.xsede.org/resources/overview for a description of XSEDE resources and https://portal.xsede.org/allocations-overview for information on how to request access.

Please submit a ticket or send email to help@futuregrid.org if you need help before details on future options are available.

Thank you, Geoffrey
