Abstract

Polar grid is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Instrumentation(MRI) funded partnership of Indiana University and Elizabeth City State University. The partnershipÂ¿s goal is to acquire and deploy the computing infrastructure needed to investigate the urgent problems in glacial melting. This poster will detail the work involved in preparing the E.V. Wilkins computer center to support a 100 node grid, server and lab with future expansion to 600 nodes. This grid system will be connected to the TeraGrid.
