Foundation in August 2001. It currently includes the following partners:
the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Center
for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, the San Diego Supercomputer Center
(SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, Argonne National
Laboratory in Argonne, IL,
the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC),
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, Purdue
University, West Lafayette, IN, Indiana University, Bloomington, and the Texas
Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin.

NCSA New User Information
-
Check this page first if you are new to NCSA!
The following NCSA resources are available:
Dell Intel 64 Tesla Cluster
(login-lincoln.ncsa.teragrid.org)
-
This system consists of 192 compute nodes (Dell PowerEdge 1950 dual-socket nodes with quad-core Intel Harpertown 2.33GHz processors and 16GB of memory) and 96 NVIDIA Tesla S1070 accelerator units. Each Tesla unit provides 345.6 gigaflops of double-precision performance and 16GB of memory.
Dell Intel 64 Cluster
(login-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org)
-
This Dell blade system has 1,200 PowerEdge 1955 dual socket, quad core compute blades, an InfiniBand interconnect and 400 TB of storage in a Lustre
parallel filesystem.
IBM IA-64 Linux Cluster (login-hg.ncsa.teragrid.org;
tg-login.ncsa.teragrid.org)
NCSA's IA-64 TeraGrid Linux Cluster consists of 887 IBM nodes: 256 nodes with
dual 1.3 GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors (half with 4 GB of memory per node,
and the other half with 12 GB of memory per node), and 631
nodes with dual 1.5 GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors (4 GB of memory per node).
The cluster is running
SuSE Linux and is using Myricom's Myrinet cluster interconnect network,
and the GPFS parallel filesystem.
Note: This resource will be retired on March 31 2010.
SGI Altix (login-co.ncsa.teragrid.org)
NCSA's SGI Altix consists of two systems each with 512 Intel Itanium 2
processors running the Linux operating system. The systems have 1 and 2
TB of memory respectively. It uses the CXFS shared parallel filesystem
from SGI.
Note: This resource will be retired on March 31 2010.
Mass Storage System (mss.ncsa.teragrid.org)
NCSA's hierarchical archival storage system is
available for permanent storage of data. Access is via the FTP and SSH based
transfer clients, including GridFTP clients. NCSA's mass storage now holds more than six petabytes of data and has the capacity to archive ten petabytes of data.
