The XSEDE program manages the database of allocation awards for the portfolio of advanced research computing resources funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The database holds data for allocation awards dating to the start of the TeraGrid program in 2004 through the XSEDE operational period, which ended August 31, 2022. The project data include lead researcher and affiliation, title and abstract, field of science, and the start and end dates. Along with the project information, the data set includes resource allocation and usage data for each award associated with the project. The data show the transition of resources over a fifteen year span along with the evolution of researchers, fields of science, and institutional representation.

Because the XSEDE program has ended, the allocation_award_history file includes all allocations activity initiated via XSEDE processes through August 31, 2022. The Resource Providers and successor program to XSEDE agreed to honor all project allocations made during XSEDE. Thus, allocation awards that extend beyond the end of XSEDE may not reflect all activity that may ultimately be part of the project award. Similarly, allocation usage data only reflects usage reported through August 31, 2022, and may not reflect all activity that may ultimately be conducted by projects that were active beyond XSEDE.
