TeraGrid supercomputing project expands - Stephen Shankland, ZDNet News
A project to build and interconnect mammoth supercomputers has landed a $35 million National Science Foundation grant that will take the "grid" beyond its original Itanium 2 designs. In 2001, an alliance of academic supercomputing sites won a $53 million NSF grant to build the Distributed Terascale Facility, known for short as the TeraGrid. Now a $35 million supplement this year will expand the TeraGrid in a project formally known as the Extensible Terascale Facility. The expansion will connect different varieties of supercomputers at five different sites, with an eye to adding more later.
