The University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is funded by a Cooperative Agreement from the Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure in the amount of $26,450,500 to construct a Distributed Terascale Facility (DTF) that will span four institutions: 1) San Diego Supercomputer Center, 2)National Center for Supercomputing Applications , 3) California Institute of Technology and 4) Argonne National Laboratory . In partnership with IBM, Intel, Myrinet, Qwest, Oracle and SUN, they will construct a DTF based on multiple terascale Linux clusters, as well as large-scale storage archives and data management software. A 40 gigabit/second optical mesh will interconnect the DTF's components. The DTF hardware will be integrated, using Globus middleware and other Computational Grid technologies develop by the Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI), to create a system with an aggregate of 11.6 TF of computing capability and 525 TB of disk storage to support terascale computing (6.1 TF and 153 TB at NCSA), distributed data management (4.1 TF and 248 TB at SDSC), remote rendering and visualization (1 TF and 31 TB at Argonne), and data-intensive scientific application analysis (0.4 TF and 93 TB at Caltech). A unified Operations Center will coordinate management, user support, and access. The DTF TeraGrid will have broad impact on the computational science community and will ultimately benefit society as a whole. First, the TeraGrid will advance discovery and promote understanding by making available to academic researchers next generation information technologies that are an order of magnitude more capable than now generally available. Second, the TeraGrid will empower broad scientific and engineering communities through its focus on commodity clusters, common usage models and community codes. Third, experience gained through DTF operation, insights and software from the TeraGrid will be packaged in a series of software distributions for community use. This software packaging will extend TeraGrid technologies to the broader national community, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) and EPSCoR Institutions.

The University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is funded by a Cooperative Agreement from the Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure in the amount of $26,450,500 to construct a Distributed Terascale Facility (DTF) that will span four institutions: 1) San Diego Supercomputer Center, 2)National Center for Supercomputing Applications , 3) California Institute of Technology and 4）Argonne国家实验室。 与IBM，Intel，Myrinet，Qwest，Oracle和Sun合作，他们将基于多个Terascale Linux簇以及大规模的存储档案和数据管理软件构建DTF。 40千兆位/第二个光学网格将互连DTF的组件。 The DTF hardware will be integrated, using Globus middleware and other Computational Grid technologies develop by the Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI), to create a system with an aggregate of 11.6 TF of computing capability and 525 TB of disk storage to support terascale computing (6.1 TF and 153 TB at NCSA), distributed data management (4.1 TF and 248 TB at SDSC），远程渲染和可视化（Argonne的1 TF和31 TB）以及数据密集型科学应用分析（CalTech的0.4 TF和93 TB）。统一操作中心将协调管理，用户支持和访问。 DTF Teragrid将对计算科学界产生广泛的影响，并最终使整个社会受益。 首先，Teragrid将通过向学术研究人员提供下一代信息技术来提高发现和促进理解，这些信息技术比现在通常可用。 其次，Teragrid将通过关注商品集群，常见使用模型和社区代码来增强广泛的科学和工程社区的能力。 第三，通过DTF操作获得的经验，Teragrid的洞察力和软件将包装在一系列用于社区使用的软件分布中。 该软件包装将将Teragrid技术扩展到更广泛的民族社区，包括少数民族服务机构（MSI）和EPSCOR机构。
