NewsTeraGrid Science Gateways: NanoHUBScience Gateways are an effort by TeraGrid to extend the use of TeraGrid resources to a much larger set of users than the traditional users of high performance computing. One way to achieve this is to provide a web interface for computations, which invisibly invoke TeraGrid resources. The TeraGrid is creating a number of Science Gateways to widen the community of access to TeraGrid resources. A shining example of this is the NanoHub, developed by the NSF's Network for Computational Nanotechnology based at Purdue University. NanoHub provides a web interface to numerous resources relevant to students and practitioners in nanotechnology. The cyber environment includes on-line courses and tutorials, proceedings of seminars, collaborative tools, access to the primary literature, and an interface for on-line simulation. The latter puts research-grade software into the hands of new users around the world. This past year more than 1000 users have launched over 65,000 jobs using this interface.

An example of such software is NEMO3D, a code for modeling nanoelectronic devices, which scales effectively on Linux clusters. Using the TeraGrid Itanium cluster at NCSA, researchers employed NEMO3D to carry out the largest quantum-dot simulations ever. They simulated a 64-million-atom system an atomistic strain, and a 21-million-atom system for electronic-structure computation. NEMO3D will soon be available through NanoHub.
