Abstract

This document presents the Levels 1 and 2 decompositions of Version 1 of the XSEDE architecture, as defined by the XSEDE architecture team based on requirements obtained by broad stakeholder consultation. The Level 1 decomposition identifies the nature and purpose of the three principal layers of the architecture: the resources layer, which encompasses the diverse physical and virtual resources provided by XSEDE service providers; the services layer, which provides access to those resources via well-defined network protocols; and the access layer, which facilitates the use of resources via a range of end-user-oriented and programmer-oriented interfaces. The Level 2 decomposition identifies the capabilities to be provided within each layer.
