This could be NPOV improved, but I'm not convinced it deserves speedy. It looks noteworthy. I will re-examine at first opportunity if someone else doesn't first. Manning 02:29, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

  • Since they're not selling anything, this isn't advertising. The article needs some work, but it is certainly legit. Removing speedy tag. Denni 03:09, 2005 July 21 (UTC)

Trying to be neutral...definitely not 'selling' anything. The TeraGrid is funded by public funds, and so the more the public knows about it the better they can 'see their tax dollars at work.' I added some detail about technical architecture and a statement about who can access TeraGrid and how. Cec 16:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but we also deserve a neutral article with cited sources. There seem to be a fair number of published papers etc. W Nowicki (talk) 22:24, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TeraGrid -> XSEDE[edit]

According to the TeraGrid website "After 10 years of service to the national science and engineering community, the TeraGrid project has come to an end. It is succeeded by a new National Science Foundation program called XSEDE -- the Extreme Science and Engineering Digital Environment. See www.xsede.org for information." See also The Dawn of XSEDE... The article should summarize the recent transition to the new program. --mikeu talk 13:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At first I thought it was just a new project name for the same thing (perhaps "grid" is no longer trendy?). But it seems to have moved from Chicago to U of Illinois. So probably anotehr article for the new one? Following the guideline to avoid abbreviations, I vote the new one should be Extreme Science and Engineering Digital Environment. Too bad it reduces to an unpronouncible acronym; TeraGrid was much better sounding at any rate. W Nowicki (talk) 22:24, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
