12. 1-1.12 Grid computing infrastructure projects Not tied to one specific application

13. 1-1.13 Funded by NSF in 2001 initially to link five supercomputer centers. Hubs established at Chicago and Los Angeles. Five centers connected to one hub: Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) (Chicago hub)‏ National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) (Chicago hub)‏ Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) (Chicago hub)‏ San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) ( LA hub)‏ Caltech (LA hub)‏ National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) (Chicago hub)‏ TeraGrid

14. 1-1.14 Hubs at Chicago and Los Angeles Interconnected using 40 Gigabit/sec optical backplane network. Five centers Connected to one hub using 30 Gigabit/sec connections State-of-the-art optical lines could reach 10 Gigabit/sec in the early 2000s Four lines used to achieve 40 Gigabit/sec. Three lines used to achieve 30 Gigabit/sec

15. 1-1.15 TeraGrid circa 2004

16. 1-1.16 TeraGrid as of 2008

17. eXtreme Digital (XD) National Science Foundation’s new Cyberinfrastructure program which will replace and expand upon the existing TeraGrid program. Started in summer 2011.
