-The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is an NSF funded HPCC, so

+The NSF’s ACCESS (Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support) program

 Like the HPCC options described above, XSEDE uses a scheduler to start jobs, and puts limits on
 how many resources any one user can utilize at once.
 
-XSEDE can also be a bit intimidating at first because you will need to know what resources
-you need, and for how long, before you get started. XSEDE runs like a mini version of the

 Also like an NSF grant, if your proposal is accepted, that means you have access to whatever
 resources you were approved for, for the time frame you requested.
 
-Don't let that paragraph scare you off though. XSEDE has two different allocation tracks. If

-are usually granted in a week or so, and are intended for you to test your pipeline so you

+Jetstream2 is an update to the NSF’s science and engineering cloud infrastructure and provides 8 petaFLOPS of supercomputing power. It is an NSF-funded cloud environment designed to allow “always on” research infrastructure and to give researchers access to interactive computing and data analysis resources on demand, whenever and wherever they want to analyze their data. Jetstream allocations are awarded through ACCESS. Allocations are free, but require that the Principal Investigator (PI) is a US-based researcher.

 ### Commercial Clouds
 Computing architecture is moving (albeit at a slow pace) to the Model-to-Data paradigm. This means that scientists should be encouraged to bring their compute to where the data is stored, instead of the the other way around. The following outlines the general differences between the three major commercial cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure.
