Dr. Aaron Striegel, assistant professor of the University of Notre Dame's Computer Science and Engineering Department, uses a Grid Infrastructure from Sun Microsystems to research the characteristics of new computer network topologies and protocols. The challenge was to create a scalable Grid Computing infrastructure with the flexibility, availability, and capacity to handle abrupt increases in computational requirements and increase. Working with Sun, Striegel was able to utilize the Sun Infrastructure Solution for Grid Computing to provide for his group's current and future resource demands. Sun's Grid Infrastructure, managed by Grid Engine open source, gives the Striegel group a powerful computing solution.
