DTF/ETF Update Joint Techs, Columbus, OH July 19, 2004 Linda Winkler winkler@ Objectives of TeraGrid Infrastructure To provide an unprecedented increase in the computational capabilities available to the open research community, both in terms of capacity and functionality. To deploy a distributed “system” using Grid technologies rather than a “distributed computer” with centralized control, allowing the user community to map applications across the computational, storage, visualization, and other resources as an integrated environment. To create an “enabling cyber infrastructure” for scientific research in such a way that additional resources (at additional sites) can be readily integrated as well as providing a model that can be reused to create additional Grid systems that may or may not interoperate with TeraGrid. TeraGrid Partner Sites Phase 1 Production Jan 1, 2004; Phase 2 Production June 30, 2004 CACR at Caltech NCSA SDSC UC/ANL ETF-1 Production April 1, 2004 PSC ETF-2 Production October 1, 2004 Indiana University- will connect .166 TF compute, storage, viz, life science data sets deriving from Indiana Genomics Initiative Oak Ridge National Laboratory- is connecting its High Flux Isotope Reactor and Spallation Neutron Source instruments, as well as ORNLs Center for Computational Sciences Purdue University- will connect compute, storage, viz, and specialized instrumentation including the Purdue Terrestrial Observatory Texas Advanced Computing Center- brings access to high-end computers capable of 6.2 teraflops of compute power, terascale visualization system, 2.8-petabyte mass storage system and geoscience data collections Timeline ETF/TeraGrid Network Today ETF2/TeraGrid Topology Future * ATL hub, IPGrid, ORNL, TACC 2004 work in progress PSC 30G to CHI via NLR July 2003 CACR 30G to LA Apr 2003 Qwest delivers 20G LA-CHI Jan 2003 LA hub established Jan 2003 Qwest delivers 20G LA-CHI Oct 2002 SDSC 30G to LA via CENIC Sept 2002 Chicago hub established Sep
