Abstract

This XSEDE task force report was itself put into the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign IDEALS digital repository, but the actual list of words was not, originally, as they were posted within the XSEDE web pages. The following note was posted on the original web pages containing the information included in this spreadsheet: The XSEDE Terminology task force considered a wide array of words and phrases and ultimately winnowed the list to include terms only relevant to the High Performance Computing community. Given here are other terms not usually encountered in High Performance Computing, but considered to be inappropriate and to be avoided.
