The University of Texas is funded by a two-year Cooperative Agreement from the Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure in the amount of $3,245,266 to integrate the resources available at University of Texas with the Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF). Funding is provided to establish a 10 gigabit/second connection from University of Texas and the Los Angeles Hub of the ETF.As a result of the funding provided through this Terascale Extension Award, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) will contribute significant resources to the ETF user community including: 1) 50% of a major new high-end SUN terascale visualization system that would complement rather than duplicate the visualization system at Argonne National Lab; 2) 50% of a tow high-end computing systems, a 1.2 Teraflop IBM Power 4 system, and a new 5.0 Teraflop Cray-Dell Linux cluster, 3) access to significant storage facilities including 2.8 Petabyte of archival and 50 Terabyte SAN storage; and 4) access to four geosciences data sets that are expected to have a significant impact on research and education in a wide variety of disciplines. The PI's and co PI's involved in this project are deeply immersed in a number of grid architecture and middleware development activities that will also add substantial expertise to the further development of the Extensible Terascale Facility.The University of Texas has strong commitments to issues of broader impact including:1) TACC is committee to providing leadership in High Performance Computing Across Texas (HiPCAT), an initiative that will bring together six Texas higher education institutions and over 60 minority-serving institution; 2) University of Texas has also actively participated in an international collaboration with Mexico in the area of HPC; 3) access to the geological data across ETF will provide information necessary to respond to emergency and life-threatening situations such as natural disasters and security threats. This data will also contribute broadly to the formulation of public policy on matters such as homeland security, climate change, and water conservation; and 4) TACC is committee to a diversified staffing, educational programs, internships and mentoring and training programs that augment classroom education.

德克萨斯大学由高级计算基础设施部的为期两年的合作协议资助，金额为3,245,266美元，以将德克萨斯大学可用资源与可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF）整合在一起。 提供了资金来建立得克萨斯大学的10千兆/第二连接和ETF的洛杉矶枢纽。由于通过该Terascale扩展奖提供的资金，得克萨斯州高级计算中心（TACC）将为ETF用户社区提供重要资源，包括：1），包括：1）50％的New High-End Sun Terascale AttaScale AttaScale Atternation At At At At At At At At At At At du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Do complation and Du Do du du Du Du Du Dulages complate and du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du的50％; 2）50％的高端计算系统，1.2 TERAFLOP IBM POWER 4系统和新的5.0 Teraflop Cray-Dell Linux群集，3）访问重要的存储设施，包括2.8档案和50 Terabyte San Storage； 4）访问四个地球科学数据集，这些数据集有望对各种学科的研究和教育产生重大影响。 The PI's and co PI's involved in this project are deeply immersed in a number of grid architecture and middleware development activities that will also add substantial expertise to the further development of the Extensible Terascale Facility.The University of Texas has strong commitments to issues of broader impact including:1) TACC is committee to providing leadership in High Performance Computing Across Texas (HiPCAT), an initiative that will bring together six Texas higher education institutions and over 60少数派服务机构； 2）德克萨斯大学还积极参加了与HPC领域的墨西哥国际合作； 3）访问ETF的地质数据将提供必要的信息，以应对紧急情况和威胁生命的情况，例如自然灾害和安全威胁。 这些数据还将在诸如国土安全，气候变化和节水之类的问题上制定公共政策； 4）TACC是一个多元化的人员配备，教育计划，实习，指导和培训计划，以增强课堂教育。
