all of which have made NAS the preferred solution for any network storage environment that does not rely upon high-performance or high-scalability, yet traditional NAS implementations fail to scale because they are bound by the CPU cycles their host system can produce. 3-GHz CPU cycle speeds, enabling ultra-efficient SMP processing. According to representatives at ITaP, there are several possibilities in further utilizing the grid, including sharing CPU cycles with local industry partners in the genomics industry as well as borrowing compute cycles from University affiliates who aren't using them during the evening. |
