Abstract

In this paper we give a brief overview of the three projects that were chosen for XSEDE-PRACE collaboration in 2014. We begin this paper with an introduction of the XSEDE and PRACE organizations and the motivation for a collaborative effort between these two organizations. We then talk about the three projects that were involved in this collaboration. We provide an overview of the projects themselves and what was in scope for this collaboration. We also outline the hurdles and issues faced during this unique collaborative effort and also discuss the benefits the projects derived from this collaboration. We finally outline the future steps envisioned for XSEDE-PRACE collaborative efforts going forward.
