Abstract

The eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) provides researchers, educators, and students across the United States and beyond with access to powerful computers, data, tools, and other resources to conduct research and improve the planet. The XSEDE software architecture defines the mechanisms that people from many different backgrounds can use to access XSEDE services, contribute resources to XSEDE, and develop tools that make use of XSEDE capabilities. An important goal for the XSEDE project is that this architecture be clearly defined so that any member of the XSEDE community can always determine exactly what capabilities XSEDE provides and how those capabilities are to be accessed. This document describes the Level 3 decomposition of the XSEDE architecture and complements and greatly extends the Level 1 and 2 decompositions that are presented in a separate document.
