1 Regional & National HPC resources available to UCSB Triton Affiliates and Partners Program (TAPP) Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) UCSB clusters

2 Triton Affiliates and Partners Program (TAPP) Encourages campus participation, allowing researchers to use time and storage space on SDSC computing and data resources. Campuses purchase blocks of time or storage which researchers may then request from their TAPP campus administrators.
