Today cosmology research focuses on reconstructing the critical fractions of a second that followed the Big Bang. U.K. researchers, led by principal investigator Professor Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University, have combined forces to attack this compute- and visualization-intensive problem with the U.K. Cosmology Grid (CosmoGrid). The challenge is to create a scientific networking grid that enables U.K. cosmologists at distant locations to share data and computing resources in their study of the origins of the universe and establish a central computing and visualization facility. The solution was a 64-processor SGI Origin 3800 supercomputing system with 32GB of shared memory, connected through a SAN switch to a 1.6TB SGI TP9100 RAID.
