TeraGrid: 13.6TF, 6.8TB memory, 79 TB internal disk, 576 TB network disk, 40 Gbs optical backbone.


“In a recent award by NSF, NSF has boldly move to expedite the building of this cyberinfrastructure, and build a TeraGrid”.

“This teragrid will expand all of the technology components we discussed (compute, data, networking). The challenge will be the associated software development – by the PACI partnerships, and by associated projects by NSF and other agencies such as NIH”.

NOTE: This is (part of) the US Investment in the grid. EU / UK are heavily investing in this, as are the Asian countries, through organizations such as APGrid, or an initiative we in California are launching.
