Scholarly Cyberinfrastructure
Cyberinfrastructure consists of computing systems, data storage systems, advanced instruments and data repositories, visualization environments, and people, all linked together by software and high performance networks to improve scholarly productivity and enable breakthroughs not otherwise possible.
This page is concerned with teraflop computing (not personal computers) and terabyte storage (not flash drives or CDs).
