The Wayne State University Grid Wayne State University has developed a high performance Grid enabled computing system that houses and manages research related projects. The Grid handles projects requiring high speed computation, parallel and distributed computing, data management, and computationally intensive applications. This enables users to utilize numerous processors in different systems simultaneously. These systems are joined by high speed networks allowing them to function effectively as a single unit. The Grid currently has the combined processing power of 1232 cores: 762 Intel cores, 450 AMD Opteron cores, 24 Itanium-2 processors, with over 1.9TB of RAM and over 174TB of central disk space. The system is open to any researcher at WSU.
