Grid Computing
Teragrid
Indiana University (IU) is one of eight TeraGrid resource providers. IU has integrated its world class computational, data storage, networking, visualization, instrumentation, and data collections resources with the world's largest, most comprehensive grid computing cyberinfrastructure.
Open Science Grid
IU is the coordination point for the virtual organization known as the Open Science Grid. The Open Science Grid is a US grid computing infrastructure that supports scientific computing via an open collaboration of science researchers, software developers and computing, storage and network providers.
IP-grid
Indiana and Purdue Universities operate a statewide computing grid called IP-grid that has enabled researchers at both institutions to achieve breakthroughs in scientific research. This statewide cyberinfrastructure in enabled by the advanced I-light network(www.i-light.org) which connects the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, the Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis campus, and the IU campus in Bloomington.
I-light
I-Light is an optical fiber network that links Indiana University Bloomington, IUPUI, and Purdue University West Lafayette to each other, as well as to the national Internet infrastructure, including Internet2.
Midwest Tier 2 Center (ATLAS)
The Midwest Tier 2 Center is part of the the grid of computers used by ATLAS Physicists to analyze data generated by the ATLAS project at CERN. The ATLAS project is one of two general purpose detectors that will study subatomic particle interactions the Large Hadronic Collider (LHC).
