Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC)
TACC Builds "Grid of Grids' for Scientific Research
Overview
Leader in inter-grid collaboration
Building a university-wide grid to connect clusters, workstations, visualization systems, and storage devices
Challenges
|
Accelerate collaborative computational science and engineering on grids |
|
Enable researchers to share resources and execute codes across multiple HPC systems |
Solution
Platform LSF HPC
Platform LSF MultiCluster
Platform Globus Toolkit
Results
Web-based Grid portal simplifying use of many HPC systems
Interoperability between local, state national and global grids
"By partnering with industry leaders like Platform, we hope to accelerate the collaborative nature of science on grids. Because TACC can leverage Platform's work with Platform Globus, Platform LSF, and Platform LSF MultiCluster at the outset, we can focus our attention on the cutting edge of enabling science. Together, we can leverage existing research initiatives and develop new solutions rapidly. Much of the work we do today in universities is what industry will demand tomorrow.“
