The Extensible Terascale Facility (ETF), or. TeraGrid, involves nine resource providers operating high-performance computing, information, and visualization facilities, interconnected with a dedicated optical network and integrated with a set of common software that presents the user community with a cohesive set of resources and services. On October 1, 2004, the ETF will conclude a three-year construction effort to create this distributed environment and will transition into an operational state. This proposal outlines a set of services to be provided at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) as part of the TeraGrid. TACC has developed a comprehensive TeraScale infrastructure at UT Austin and will provide many significant resources to TeraGrid users: a Linux cluster with 1028 processors for high-end computing; a Sun SMP system with 512 GB shared memory and 16 dual-pipe, high-end graphics cards for visualization and data analysis; a 50 TB storage area network and a massive archival system for data storage; and four unique geosciences data collections from leading research units at UT Austin. TACC will operate and support all of these resources as production systems and integrate them into the TeraGrid using the appropriate software components. TACC staff will provide services and support to ensure maximum effective use of these resources, including HPC and visualization applications support and outreach, consulting, training, and documentation, as well as data collection curation and user support. TACC will also operate the TeraGrid User Portal, working with all other TeraGrid resource providers to ensure that the portal provides up-to-date information services and reliable, simple interactive ways of using TeraGrid resources and accessing TeraGrid services.

可扩展的Terascale设施（ETF），或。 Teragrid涉及9个资源提供商运行高性能计算，信息和可视化设施，与专用的光学网络互连，并与一组通用软件集成，该软件为用户社区提供了一系列凝聚力的资源和服务。 2004年10月1日，ETF将结束为期三年的建设工作，以创建这个分布式环境，并将过渡到运营状态。 该提案概述了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀大学（UT Austin）的德克萨斯州高级计算中心（TACC）提供的一系列服务，作为Teragrid的一部分。 TACC在UT Austin开发了全面的Terascale基础架构，并将为Teragrid用户提供许多重要的资源：一个带有1028个高端计算处理器的Linux群集；具有512 GB共享内存和16张双管，高端图形卡的Sun SMP系统，用于可视化和数据分析； 50 TB存储区域网络和一个用于数据存储的大规模档案系统；来自UT Austin的领先研究单位的四个独特的地球科学数据收集。 TACC将作为生产系统运行和支持所有这些资源，并使用适当的软件组件将它们集成到Teragrid中。 TACC员工将提供服务和支持，以确保最大程度地利用这些资源，包括HPC和可视化应用程序支持和推广，咨询，培训和文档，以及数据收集策划和用户支持。 TACC还将操作Teragrid用户门户网站，与所有其他TeraGRID资源提供商一起工作，以确保门户网站提供最新的信息服务以及使用TeraGRID资源和访问TeraGRID服务的可靠，简单的交互式方法。
