Oak Ridge National Laboratory is funded by a three-year Cooperative Agreement from the Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure in the amount of $3,898,743 to integrate the neutron scattering resources available at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with the Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF). Funding is provided to establish a 10-gigabit/second connection from ORNL through a newly created ETF hub to be located in Atlanta. Neutron scattering provides a unique probe of the structure and dynamics of materials. It is widely used in numerous scientific fields including: nanoscience, genomics and proteomics, polymer science, chemistry, soft condensed matter, biotechnology, biology, materials science, metallurgy, solid-state physics, semiconductor manufacturing, engineering and earth sciences. As a result of the funding provided through this Terascale Extension Award, ORNL and its university partners (Duke University, Florida State University, Georgia Institute of technology, North Carolina State University, University of Tennessee, University of Virginia, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) will bring neutron science to the TeraGrid through a Southeastern TeraGrid Extensions for Neutron Science, or SETENS. SETENS will be put into place by: 1) establishing a high-bandwidth communication link from ORNL to the Chicago ETF hub, 2) deploying the TeraGrid Common Software Stack on the IBM Power-4 and High Performance Storage System in ORNL'S Center for Computational Sciences, 3) developing and deploying the new grid middleware needed to support integration of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) into the TeraGrid, and 4) developing and deploying grid-enabled versions of the distributed Data Analysis for Neutron Scattering Experiments (DANSE) software system.SETENS will have a broader impact than simply providing ETF scientific users with access to ORNL's neutron resources. The proposed extension of the TeraGrid through Atlanta will facilitate future regional and national networking efforts, including the Southern Crossroads, National Lambda Rail, and other high-performance research and general user networks. SETENS will accelerate the knowledge, teaching, learning, and success of grid technologies by providing clear early prospects for successful applications. Through the involvement of the university partners, SETENS will spur education in computer, computational and neutron science and engineering research areas as part of the accomplishment of the scientific neutron scattering research.

Oak Ridge国家实验室由先进计算基础设施的一项为期三年的合作协议资助，金额为3,898,743美元，以整合Oak Ridge National Laboratory可用的中子散射资源与可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF）。 提供了资金，以建立从ORNL到新创建的ETF中心的10倍/秒连接，该连接位于亚特兰大。 中子散射提供了材料结构和动力学的独特探针。 它被广泛用于许多科学领域，包括：纳米科学，基因组学和蛋白质组学，聚合物科学，化学，软凝结物质，生物技术，生物学，材料科学，冶金，固体物理，半导体制造商制造，工程，工程和地球科学。 由于通过该Terascale扩展奖提供的资金，ORNL及其大学合作伙伴（杜克大学，佛罗里达州立大学，佐治亚州理工学院，北卡罗来纳州州立大学，田纳西大学，弗吉尼亚大学，弗吉尼亚大学和弗吉尼亚大学Polytechnic Institute and State University and State University and State University and State University）将通过Southerager teragr teragr scientions将中子科学带到Teragrid，或者将Neutric Sc​​ient带到Neutions Science。 将通过：1）建立从ORNL到芝加哥ETF中心的高带宽沟通链接，2）在IBM Power-4上部署Teragrid常见的软件堆栈，并在ORNL计算科学中心中的高性能存储系统和高性能存储系统，3）开发和部署新的网格中间软件，以支持和部署新的网格互动，以使其集成的ISAll Isallions and Issalliation and Issoper（HH （SNS）进入teragrid，4）为中子散射实验（DANSE）软件系统开发和部署启用网格的数据分析版本。STETENS将产生更大的影响，而不是简单地为ETF科学用户访问Ornl的中子资源。 拟议的通过亚特兰大将Teragrid扩展将促进未来的区域和国家网络工作，包括南部十字路口，国家Lambda铁路以及其他高性能研究和一般用户网络。 Setens将通过为成功应用程序提供明显的早期前景来加速网格技术的知识，教学，学习和成功。 通过大学合作伙伴的参与，Setens将刺激计算机，计算和中子科学和工程研究领域的教育，这是科学中子散射研究的一部分。
