This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project implements a bioinformatics core facility, which provides hardware, software, educational/training capabilities, and staffing that enable biomedical researchers to analyze and model biological data. The Core Facility includes three clusters for high performance computing. The first has 192 2.8GHz Xeon processors with 1GB of RAM per server. The second has 44 2.8GHz Xeon processors with 1GB of RAM per server. The third has 96 64-bit 2 GHz Apple Xserve G5 processors with 4 GB of RAM per server. The database server is a Sun Fire V880 with eight 750 MHz processors and 16GB RAM. There are two Dell Poweredge 6950 applications servers, each with 4 AMD64 dual-core processors and 8 GB RAM. The facility also has several midrange Sun Fire V440 and Sun Fire v480 servers, each with 2 SPARC processors and 4GB of RAM, for project-specific data and software needs. The Core supports over 15 TB of additional RAID disk space, with one robotic backup unit. All research systems are connected to each other with 2GB/s channels and to the UI backbone with 1GB/s fiber. The faculty office and laboratory computers are provided with a1Gb/sec connection to the core and have Internet 2 access. The servers, including the cluster computers, are located on the University of Idaho campus in a 1400 square foot room that has been designed to meet the power and cooling needs of a large number of systems. Two full time staff members provide systems administration, and a Bioinformatics Coordinator provides software and sequence analysis support. This facility is being upgraded to include a new compute cluster built using Dell M1000e/M605 blade systems. The new cluster will have a total of 128 cores which will be expanded to include 512 cores by spring 2009.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 该项目实施了生物信息学核心设施，提供硬件、软件、教育/培训能力和人员配备，使生物医学研究人员能够分析生物数据并对其进行建模。核心设施包括三个用于高性能计算的集群。第一个有192个2.8 GHz Xeon处理器，每个服务器有1 GB的RAM。第二款配备了44个2.8 GHz Xeon处理器，每台服务器有1 GB的RAM。第三代有96个位2 GHz Apple XServe G5处理器，每台服务器有4 GB的RAM。数据库服务器是一台Sun Fire V880，具有8个750 MHz处理器和16 GB RAM。有两台Dell PowerEdge 6950应用程序服务器，每台都配备4个AMD64双核处理器和8 GB RAM。该设施还拥有几台中端Sun Fire V440和Sun Fire v480服务器，每台服务器都有2个SPARC处理器和4 GB RAM，以满足项目特定的数据和软件需求。 酷睿支持超过15 TB的额外RAID磁盘空间，以及一个机器人备份单元。所有研究系统通过2 Gb/S通道相互连接，并通过1 Gb/S光纤连接到UI主干。教研室和实验室的计算机与核心的连接速度为1 Gb/秒，并可接入Internet 2。 包括集群计算机在内的服务器位于爱达荷州大学校区的一个1400平方英尺的房间内，该房间旨在满足大量系统的电力和冷却需求。两名全职工作人员提供系统管理，一名生物信息学协调员提供软件和序列分析支持。 该设施正在升级，以包括使用Dell M1000e/M605刀片式服务器系统构建的新计算群集。新的集群总共将有128个核心，到2009年春季将扩大到包括512个核心。
