A C$48-million (US$36-million) project to unite four supercomputing installations at four universities in western Canada has been completed, WestGrid announced this week.
WestGrid is a partnership between the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary and Simon Fraser University. The schools are joined by a gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic connection. Because the infrastructure enables the transfer of large volumes of data it will mean better inter-university collaboration for research scientists. more http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php?id=813901657&fp=2&fpid=1 ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
