The proposal requests funding to establish the participation of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as a Resource Provider (RP) in the Extensible Terascale Facility, also referred to as the ETF or the TeraGrid. ETF is an integrated heterogeneous computing-communication-information system designed to provide the national science and engineering community with unparalleled access to secure state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure resources and services. ETF seamlessly integrates the highest-end computing resources available to the open science community, including powerful and innovative systems at TACC, sophisticated scientific instruments, and diverse data collections, using software tools and services that enable their effective use.Among large-scale comprehensive cyberinfrastructure projects, ETF pioneers the integration of state-of-the-art software services with the policies and procedures of autonomous open national computing centers and universities. As ETF moves into its five-year operations phase, its partner institutions will seek to: deliver the promise of convenient, reliable, secure, persistent computing, data storage, data collection, and real-time instrument capabilities;support user priorities that include new software services such as co-scheduling, meta-scheduling, parameter sweep tools, and advanced data management and handling; andimplement and support science gateway services that engage a much larger number of the nation's scientists and engineers in computing-enabled research and education.Working alongside TACC are eight other ETF partner organizations: Argonne National Laboratory, Indiana University, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), Purdue University, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).

该提案要求提供资金，以使德克萨斯高级计算中心 (TACC) 作为资源提供者 (RP) 参与可扩展万亿级设施（也称为 ETF 或 TeraGrid）。 ETF 是一个集成的异构计算-通信-信息系统，旨在为国家科学和工程界提供无与伦比的安全最先进的网络基础设施资源和服务。 ETF 无缝集成了开放科学界可用的最高端计算资源，包括 TACC 强大而创新的系统、先进的科学仪器和多样化的数据收集，并使用可有效利用这些资源的软件工具和服务。在大型综合网络基础设施项目中，ETF 率先将最先进的软件服务与自主开放国家计算中心和大学的政策和程序相集成。随着 ETF 进入五年运营阶段，其合作伙伴机构将寻求：兑现便捷、可靠、安全、持久计算、数据存储、数据收集和实时仪器功能的承诺；支持用户优先事项，包括新的软件服务，如协同调度、元调度、参数扫描工具以及高级数据管理和处理；实施和支持科学网关服务，让更多的国家科学家和工程师参与计算支持的研究和教育。与 TACC 合作的还有另外八个 ETF 合作伙伴组织：阿贡国家实验室、印第安纳大学、国家超级计算应用中心 (NCSA)、橡树岭国家实验室、匹兹堡超级计算中心 (PSC)、普渡大学和圣地亚哥超级计算机中心 （SDSC）。
