This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Year 2006 - 2007 has seen three major improvements to the Resource's computational facility (www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Computers/): the addition of several serial workstations (two of which take advantage of GPU technology), the addition of 25 TB of disk space, and the roll-out of a wiki-based internal web site for management.The Resource has recently increased the amount of available data storage on the local network from 20 TB to 45 TB. This was implemented through the purchase of a SunFire X4500 server, containing 48 500 GB hard drives and capable of serving the data directly to the entire network. Additionally, through the use of Sun's ZFS file system, this space is significantly more flexible than what was previously available.Finally, in order to better maintain its web-based materials, the Resource has recently replaced its internal Group Manual with a wiki-based system, based on MediaWiki. This system allows for significantly faster distribution of information throughout the Resource's user community, and can be maintained by all Resource members and users. At the same time, formal management of other sections of the web site is handled by the newly-formed web management team.
