HIGH PERFORMANCE
COMPUTING† USAGE BY SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT CY2003 |
 |
| †Use of parallel supercomputers,
PC clusters, and distributed computing cycles for computationally
intensive research needs, including simulations and modeling. |
| Bandwidth available to researchers
(in megabits or gigabits per second) |
- WL Campus: 10-1,000 Mbps
- Intrastate***: 10 Gbps
|
- WL to regional campuses: 45 Mbps
- Interstate****: 40 Gbps
|
DATA STORAGE
CAPACITY AND UTILIZATION |
 |
*Includes all university-owned desktop/notebook
computers and workstations in labs, offices, classrooms, research
facilities, etc.
**Increase is primarily due to inclusion of
residence hall computing labs, the Digital Learning Collaboratory,
and academic area additions.
***Using I-Light (Indiana's Optical Fiber Network),
Purdue and IU high performance computing resources form the Indiana
Distributed Terascale Facility, which has ten Gbps in available
bandwidth.
****The National Science Foundation funded
TeraGrid infrastructure, a multi-year effort to build and deploy
the world's largest, fastest, distributed infrastructure for open
scientific research, has 40 Gbps in available bandwidth distributed
at several national TeraGrid sites, of which the Indiana University-Purdue
University Grid (http://purdue.edu.teragrid.org/)
is one.
