Welcome to the Open Science Grid

What We Do

The OSG facilitates access to distributed high throughput computing for research in the US. The resources accessible through the OSG are contributed by the community, organized by the OSG, and governed by the OSG consortium. In the last 12 months, we have provided more than 1.2 billion CPU hours to researchers across a wide variety of projects.

To see the breadth of the OSG use, explore our accounting portal.

Submit Locally, Run Globally

Researchers can submit batch jobs from their home institution - or OSG-provided submit points - in order to access their local resources and expand elastically out to the OSG, leverage the distributed nature of our consortium.

Sharing Is Key

Sharing is a core principle of the OSG. Over 100 million CPU hours delivered on the OSG in the past year were opportunistic: they would have remained on but idle if it wasn't for the OSG. Sharing allows individual researchers to access larger computing resources and large organizations to keep their utilization high.

Resource Providers

The Open Science Grid consists of computing and storage elements at over 100 individual sites spanning the United States. These sites, primarily at universities and national labs, range in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of CPU cores.

The OSG Software Stack

The OSG provides an integrated software stack to enable high throughput computing; visit our technical documents website for information.

Internal Documentation

Making website changes

This repository uses GitHub Actions to deploy a website preview from the master branch to the web-preview repository. The production website (https://opensciencegrid.org/) is built automatically by GitHub Pages from the production branch.

To make changes to the website, use the following workflow:

1. Submit a pull request with website updates to the master branch (the default) and request a review
2. Upon approval and merge of the pull request, changes can be previewed at https://opensciencegrid.org/web-preview/
3. If additional changes are necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. When satisfied with the preview website, submit a pull request from production to master
5. After the pull request from step 4 has been merged, verify the changes at https://opensciencegrid.org

Adding To the Team Page

The team page provides an overview of those working on the OSG. It's important to keep this updated to reflect the evolving nature of the OSG. To add yourself to this page, create a pull request (using the standard GitHub workflow) with the following:

• A short config file about yourself, following this example. Make sure to include your name, shortname (typically either your GitHub ID as in bbockelm or Firstname-Lastname as in Brian-Bockelman), institution, website, and photo. If you are an area coordinator or have some other named role, you can fill in title.
• Upload a headshot of yourself into the assets/images/team directory. Name it in the form assets/images/team/Firstname-Lastname.jpg; in this case, the corresponding value of the photo tag in your config file will be /assets/images/team/Firstname-Lastname.jpg.
• If you are a member of the executive team, then add your shortname tag to the organization file, _data/orgs/exec-team.yml.
