The Teragrid
James Howison, Kevin Crowston, and Megan Squire Conklin have been granted computation time and storage space on the Teragrid to support their ongoing collaborative research project, FLOSSmole.
The Teragrid is a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored distributed supercomputing infrastructure that is managed through the University of Chicago, and has parent sites at several universities and research centers, including Indiana University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Purdue University, San Diego Supercomputer Center, Texas Advanced Computing Center, University of Chicago/Argonne National Laboratory, the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences, the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Right now the TeraGrid includes 250 teraflops of computing capability and about 30 petabytes of data. FLOSSmole will be granted 5 terabytes of data storage in its initial allocation.
FLOSSmole is a collaborative effort between Howison and Crowston (Syracuse University) and Conklin (Elon University). The project was started in 2004 as a set of software and data archives designed to collect and aggregate data about the development of free, libre and open source software (FLOSS), and provide that data back to the FLOSS research community. FLOSSmole has been granted processing time and data storage on the Teragrid to support this effort. One of the main goals of FLOSSmole's allocation on the Teragrid will be to support scientific workflow development for replication of data analysis. FLOSSmole researchers were also granted $200,000 from the National Science Foundation in June 2007 for their project entitled A Data and Analysis Archive for Research on Free and Open Source Software and Its Development.
