Comet petascale超级计算机于2015年初作为XSEDE资源投入生产，目标是为比类似规模的HPC系统更大的用户社区提供服务。Comet项目设定了一个大胆的目标，即在其计划的四年运作中达到10，000多个用户。这一目标在不到两年的时间里就实现了，这在很大程度上是由于采取了有利于较小拨款和科学门户的政策。在这里，我们描述了我们在操作和支持彗星的经验，强调了一些重要的科学，它已经启用，并提供了一些实际的经验教训，我们已经通过操作一个系统设计的长尾科学。
The Comet petascale supercomputer was put into production as an XSEDE resource in early 2015 with the goal of serving a much larger user community than HPC systems of similar size. The Comet project set an audacious goal of reaching over 10,000 users in its four years of planned operation. That goal was achieved in less than two years, due in large part to the adoption of policies that favor smaller allocations and science gateways. Here we describe our experiences in operating and supporting Comet, highlight some of the important science that it has enabled, and provide some practical lessons that we have learned by operating a system designed for the long tail of science.
