Join FutureGrid July 16 - 19, 2012 at XSEDE 12 in Chicago. We look forward to exploring cloud, grid, and high performance computing with you at one or more of our trainings, presentations, and BOFs. New project proposals for research and education are always welcome at FutureGrid. Visit http://futuregrid.org to apply for an account.

1. What is FutureGrid?
FutureGrid is an experimental testbed that allows researchers and
educators to collaborate on the development and testing of innovative
approaches to parallel, grid, and cloud computing. The testbed is
composed of a set of distributed high performance computing resources
connected by a high-speed network.
