The Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF), or TeraGrid involves nine resource providers operating high-performance computing, information, and visualization facilities, interconnected with a dedicated high bandwidth optical network and integrated with a set of common software that presents the user community with a cohesive set of distributed resources and services. On October 1, 2004, the ETF will conclude a three-year construction effort and will transition into an operational state. This proposal outlines services to be provided at NCSA as part of early operation of the TeraGrid system. NCSA brings a tremendous wealth of experience in production HPC environments to the ETF partnership. Not only will NCSA be providing the largest scale high-end systems to TeraGrid, but also experienced personnel who will provide the users with support throughout the life of their projects. NCSA staff process initial allocations requests, route and respond to questions and problem reports, assist scientists with their computational and data needs, tune the TeraGrid environment for optimal performance, and promote science success stories. Additionally, through the ETF construction project, NCSA has provided considerable contributions to ETF in the areas of file system and system scaling, file transfer performance characterization, as well as contributed to building the core TeraGrid security team NCSA will be providing an aggregate 16 TFlops of peak computing power and over half a petabyte of online storage for ETF. NCSA will initially provide a 10TFlop IBM/Intel Itanium 2 compute resource connected to one parallel file system on a 120TB Storage Area Network (SAN) system, and a second parallel file system across the entire cluster attached to servers with 60TB of direct-connected online storage. A second production computing resource, a shared-memory, symmetric multi-processor (SMP) SGI Altix system, will come online in March 2005. This system will consist of 1,024 Intel Itanium 2 processors running the Linux operating system, 3 terabytes of globally accessible memory, and 370 terabytes of SGI Infinite Storage, with a peak performance of more than 6 teraflops.

可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF）或TeraGRID涉及9个经营高性能计算，信息和可视化设施的资源提供商，与专用的高带宽光学网络相互联系，并与一组通用软件集成，并与用户社区相连，以提供分布式资源和服务集合。 2004年10月1日，ETF将结束三年的建设工作，并将过渡到运营状态。 该提案概述了在NCSA提供的服务，这是TeraGRID系统早期操作的一部分。 NCSA为ETF伙伴关系带来了生产HPC环境中丰富的丰富经验。 NCSA不仅将为Teragrid提供最大的高端系统，而且还将为用户提供在其项目一生中为用户提供支持的经验丰富的人员。 NCSA员工处理初始分配请求，路线和回答问题和问题报告，协助科学家的计算和数据需求，调整Teragrid环境以获得最佳性能，并促进科学成功案例。 此外，通过ETF构建项目，NCSA在文件系统和系统缩放区域，文件传输性能表征以及构建核心TeraGRID安全团队NCSA方面为ETF提供了相当大的贡献，将为汇总的16个峰值计算能力和一半的在线存储ETF提供16个Tflopte。 NCSA最初将提供10Tflop IBM/Intel Itanium 2计算资源，该资源连接到120TB存储区域网络（SAN）系统上的一个并行文件系统，并在与60TB直接连接的在线存储的服务器上的整个群集上的第二个并行文件系统。 第二个生产计算资源，一种共享的，对称的多处理器（SMP）SGI Altix系统，将于2005年3月在线上线。该系统将由1,024个Intel Itanium 2处理器组成，运行Linux操作系统，3台terabyts of Linux操作系统和370 Terabyts abless s sgi Inflopers均超过370个sgi infepers corcementer，以及6个标准的效果。
