Indiana University (IU) was funded in September 2003 by the NSF to be part of the nine-partner TeraGrid. (TG) as a resource provider (RP). IU has already demonstrated its commitment and ability to manage such a project by integrating its resources into the TeraGrid by October 2004. This proposal outlines a five-year management and operations plan for the set of resources and services to be provided by IU to the TeraGrid. IU will commit to TeraGrid users a substantial fraction of its available resources. A total of 610,000 SUs (raw service units) will be contributed in FY2004/05 (on a mixture of current processor architectures in support of traditional supercomputing, reaching 13,484,000 SUs by FY2008/09. The University will focus on providing unique computational resources such as GRAvity PiPE (GRAPE) boards and a Condor pool to national users. Finally, they will address the growing data-centric computing needs of research users by providing easy-to-use data storage resources in the form of online storage, archival storage, databases, and data collections; with a focus on life sciences, and for new user communities. Storage goals will be 10TB (online) and 0.5PB (archival) in FY2004/05, reaching 116TB (online) and 5.6PB (archival) by FY2008/09. As a TeraGrid Resource Provider, IU intends to deploy a strategy that invests heavily in people, contributes supplementary and distinctive resources, and leverages IU.s existing strengths in research areas such as community grids, grid portals, and science gateways. IU is experienced in and committed to a service- and data-centric approach to enabling users. The University believes that the key to the TeraGrid's widespread success is to deliver easy-to-use computing services to new communities of users who have hitherto been unable to make use of the existing NSF cyberinfrastructure. To implement IU.s RP plan, this proposal requests funds for seven dedicated full-time equivalents (detailed in the project description and budget narrative sections) and for nominal and proportional maintenance for IU's TeraGrid connectivity infrastructure. IU's TG-dedicated human resources will be used to help users port applications to TG, to enable new users with gateways and portals, to perform regional and national outreach, to manage IU's TG project and resources, and to assist the national TeraGrid effort. IU will focus specifically on bringing to the TG entirely new communities of users. As an eight-campus university in the State of Indiana, IU is deeply committed to collaboration and will develop collaborative relationships with the TG community nationally.

印第安纳州大学（IU）于2003年9月由NSF资助，成为九个合作伙伴TeraGrid的一部分。(TG)资源提供者（RP）。 国际联合会已表明它有决心和能力管理这样一个项目，在2004年10月之前将其资源纳入TeraGrid。该提案概述了IU向TeraGrid提供的一系列资源和服务的五年管理和运营计划。 IU将向TeraGrid用户承诺其可用资源的很大一部分。2004/05财政年度将提供总共610，000个SU（原始服务单元）（在支持传统超级计算的当前处理器架构的混合上，到2008/09财政年度将达到13，484，000个SU）。该大学将专注于向国家用户提供独特的计算资源，如GRAvity PiPE（GRAPE）板和Condor池。最后，他们将通过在线存储、档案存储、数据库和数据收集等形式提供易于使用的数据存储资源，满足研究用户日益增长的以数据为中心的计算需求;重点关注生命科学和新用户社区。 2004/05财年的存储目标是10 TB（在线）和0.5 PB（归档），到2008/09财年将达到116 TB（在线）和5.6 PB（归档）。作为TeraGrid资源提供商，IU打算部署一项战略，大力投资于人，贡献补充和独特的资源，并利用IU在社区网格，网格门户和科学网关等研究领域的现有优势。IU经验丰富，致力于以服务和数据为中心的方法来支持用户。该大学认为，TeraGrid广泛成功的关键是向迄今为止无法利用现有NSF网络基础设施的新用户社区提供易于使用的计算服务。为了实施IU的RP计划，该提案要求为七个专职等同人员（在项目描述和预算叙述部分中详细说明）以及IU TeraGrid连接基础设施的名义和比例维护提供资金。IU的TG专用人力资源将用于帮助用户将应用程序移植到TG，使新用户能够使用网关和门户网站，进行区域和国家推广，管理IU的TG项目和资源，并协助国家TeraGrid工作。IU将特别专注于为TG带来全新的用户社区。作为印第安纳州的一所八校区大学，IU致力于合作，并将在全国范围内与TG社区建立合作关系。
