What is it?

MUGrid is a grid of computing resources at Marquette University consisting of:

• Père, a 1024 core centralized compute cluster. It is named in honor of Père Marquette, the Jesuit explorer and namesake of our university.
• A distributed Condor pool containing over 500 cores. Condor is software developed at UW Madison that scavenges idle cycles on computers and enlists them to do research. These cores are distributed throughout the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, the Marquette Bioinformatics Grid (MBiG), the Library and the College of Engineering.
• Pario, a 164 core cluster in the College of Engineering.

• MUGrid harnesses massive computer power It would take a single computer more than 400 days to complete one of the complex simulations Dr. Dan Sem, associate professor of chemistry, needs for his drug discovery research. But thanks to Marquette's new supercomputer, he can get the results he needs in three to five days ...

Campus Grids

Campus grids link together computing resources at an institution to support research and collaboration. A goal of campus grids is to provide a seamless workflow from data collection to analysis and dissemination of results. The campus grid is an essential component of discovery in the 21st Century.
