Purdue University, in collaboration with Indiana University is funded by a two-year Cooperative Agreement from the Division of Advanced Computational Infrastructure in the amount of $1,467,769 to integrate the resources available at Purdue University and Indiana University with the Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF). Funding is provided to establish a 20 gigabit/second connection from Purdue University and Indiana University through Indianapolis to the Chicago Hub of the ETF.As a result of the funding provided through this Terascale Extension Award, Purdue University and Indiana University will be contributing a significant fraction of their resources to the ETF user community including: 1) a heterogeneous group of systems delivering 1.67 teraflops on an ongoing basis with the capability to offer up to 6.26 teraflops for very demanding well-justified applications; 2) a baseline storage capacity offered as part of ETF would include 129 terabytes with peak demand contributions exceeding 400 terabytes; 3) access to a variety of visualization resources including a CAVE, an Immersadesk, Display Walls, etc. are also offered; 4) specialized instrumentation facilities including the Purdue Terrestrial Observatory, and the Service Crystallography at Advanced Photon Sources (SCrAPS); and 5) access to a number of large scientific data sets in the life sciences, earth system simulations, vegetation and soils research, multispectral remote sensing imaging, geological GIS data, economic and social scientific data, and anthropological data. Investigators at both Purdue University and Indiana University will also contribute significantly to the broader goals of the Extensible Terascale Facility. They have a significant concentration of expertise in areas of grid computing, middleware, and portal development. Both universities, through their IP-Grid participation, also have extensive outreach activities fostering the training and education of a diverse technological workforce extending from K-12 programs through undergraduate and graduate programs.

普渡大学与印第安纳大学合作，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1,467,769美元，以将普渡大学和印第安纳大学提供的资源与可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF）相结合。 Funding is provided to establish a 20 gigabit/second connection from Purdue University and Indiana University through Indianapolis to the Chicago Hub of the ETF.As a result of the funding provided through this Terascale Extension Award, Purdue University and Indiana University will be contributing a significant fraction of their resources to the ETF user community including: 1) a heterogeneous group of systems delivering 1.67 teraflops on an ongoing basis with the capability to offer up to 6.26 teraflops，用于非常苛刻的应用程序； 2）作为ETF的一部分提供的基线存储能力将包括129个超高需求贡献超过400列比的Terabytes； 3）还提供了各种可视化资源，包括洞穴，浸入式墙，展示墙等； 4）专门的仪器设施，包括普渡大学的陆地天文台和高级光子源的服务晶体学（废料）； 5）访问生命科学，地球系统模拟，植被和土壤研究，多光谱遥感成像，地质GIS数据，经济和社会科学数据以及人类学数据中的许多大型科学数据集。普渡大学和印第安纳大学的调查人员还将为可扩展的特拉斯莱设施的更广泛的目标做出巨大贡献。 他们在网格计算，中间件和门户开发领域具有很高的专业知识。 这两种大学通过IP网格参与也进行了广泛的外展活动，促进了对各种技术劳动力的培训和教育，该劳动力从K-12课程扩展到本科和研究生课程。
