New XRAS clients
XRAS, or the XSEDE Resource Allocations Service, is the tool XSEDE staff use to manage thousands of resource requests each year. It was developed as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool with the goal of allowing other organizations to leverage XSEDE's investment for the national research computing infrastructure and is currently deployed at a handful of other institutions, including NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory and the University of Wyoming.

The XRAS team is now in the process of bringing two new XRAS clients on board — TACC, for Frontera, and NCSA, beginning 10/1/2019, for their non-XSEDE allocations. XRAS will also be used to support the PRACE-XSEDE-RIST advanced support requests.
XSEDE-ORCID integration update
Over the past year, XSEDE has been working to integrate its services with the  ORCID   ecosystem in order to make it easier for XSEDE users to connect their XSEDE activities to their science results, thus communicating the impact XSEDE and Service P rovider resources have on their research.

The XRAS team has officially begun posting allocation awards to users' ORCID profiles. 31 projects have been posted thus far based on the outcomes from the September XRAC meeting. Check out an example here .

Users interested in having their allocation awards posted to their ORCID profile need to link their ORCID iD to their XSEDE user account. To do so, sign in to the   XSEDE User Portal , select “Profile” under the “My XSEDE” tab at the top of the page, then select "Manage your ORCID iD” on the left. Questions may be directed to   help@xsede.org .
Submit content to Inside XSEDE!
This newsletter is produced by XSEDE staff, for XSEDE staff. It's sent on the last Thursday of every month. If you or your team have something to share with the rest of the project, please send your update to XSEDE's External Relations team at er@xsede.org. Next deadline for content is Tuesday, October 29.
