Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends
How new technologies are modifying our way of life

After the big labs studying nuclear explosions or weather mysteries, smaller universities are reaching the teraflop capability.

Topping the teraflop mark of more than a trillion operations per second, Purdue and Indiana universities have joined their respective supercomputers with I-Light, a high-performance optical fiber network.
Researchers said the supercomputer network, known as the Indiana Virtual Machine Room, will provide the combined horsepower for researchers at multiple locations to study "synthetic environments," including economic, disaster and other simulations, in greater detail.
The system, known as a "distributed teragrid," will contain more than 900 processors for a combined peak theoretical capacity of more than 1.4 teraflops. However, Bottum told NewsFactor that combining the two systems -- connected over 110 miles by the state of Indiana's I-Light high-speed interconnection system -- gives the linked supercomputer a total capacity of 1.75 teraflops.

The price of the installation was not disclosed.
