Partnership to Advance Throughput Computing
PATh brings together the Center for High Throughput Computing and the Open Science Grid in order to advance the nation’s campuses and science communities through the use of distributed High Throughput Computing.
To register to use the Open Science Grid for your research, click here.
We are here to help with your Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) proposal! Please contact us at [email protected].
We have significant experience working with CC* applicants and awardees, offering letters of support and consulting for:
- Bringing the power of the OSG to your researchers,
- Gathering science drivers and planning local computing resources, and
- CC*-required resource sharing for the Campus Compute category, and other options for integrating with OSG.
Learn more about PATh and OSG’s collaboration with CC* recipients.
Submit Locally, Run Globally
The PATh project offers technologies and services that enable researchers to harness through a single interface, and from the comfort of their “home directory”, computing capacity offered by a global and diverse collection of resources. Learn more about how researchers leverage Access Points offered by PATh to support their high throughput computational needs.

Services
Software Development
The Software Development Team supports, sustains, and enhances the HTCondor Software Suite (HTCSS) to enable the potential of distributed High Throughput Computing. This suite of software tools includes HTCondor, components to build both on-premise HTCondor compute clusters for use by independent academic, commercial, and government campuses, and components to support the federation of processing and data resources across the Open Science Grid.
Facilitation Services
Facilitation Services leverage the CHTC-pioneered principles of Research Computing Facilitation to accelerate dHTC uptake by campus researchers and collaborations via the Open Science Federation and OSG Connect, and by campuses and other organizations interested in advancing their own dHTC and dHTC Facilitation capabilities.
Global Infrastructure Laboratory
PATh is committed to openness in the science and institutions we support, in innovation of technologies and methodologies, and in interfaces to the broader ecosystem of NSF-funded CI services, especially as the fabric of coordination services evolves. To facilitate ingestion of ideas into HTCSS, and services into FoCaS, the Global Infrastructure Lab (GIL) tests and evaluate infrastructure software from inside and outside the partnership.
Production Services
The Production Services team, as part of the Fabric of Capacity Services (FoCaS), maintains services essential to delivering science on the Open Science Grid. The Compute Management services allow for sharing of computing resources, provisioning pools of computing resources, job execution management. Data Management services provide for serving and pre-placing data in support of workflows. Additionally, services such as identity management, monitoring, and accounting enhance and secure the fabric.
