This capability is currently supported by the following 2 components:
Component User facing? Component’s role in the capability
XSEDE National Intigration Toolkit (XNIT) yes Suppose you already have a cluster that you are happy with and you want to add software tools that will allow users to use open sources software like that on XSEDE, or other particular pieces of software that you think are important, but you don't want to blow up your cluster to add that capability? XNIT is for you.
XSEDE-Compatible Basic Cluster (XCBC) yes The XSEDE-Compatible Basic Cluster (XCBC) software toolkit enables campus CI resource administrators to build a local cluster from scratch, which is then easily interoperable with XSEDE-supported CI resources.
