Data Intensive Science University Network
"We propose to develop, deploy, and operate distributed cyberinfrastructure for applications requiring data-intensive distributed computing technology.
We plan to achieve this goal through close cross-disciplinary collaboration with computer scientists, middleware developers and scientists in other fields with similar computing tehnology needs.
We will deploy the Data Intensive Science University Network (DISUN), a grid-based facility comprising computing, network, middleware and personnel resources from four universities, Caltech, the University of California at San Diego, the University of Florida and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
In order for DISUN to enable over 200 physicists distributed across the US to analyze petabytes per year of data from the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN, generic problems with a broad impact will be addressed. ..."
