Three BITS (Bunch of Interconnected Technology Stuff)The BITS experimental development environment is the result of a collaboration for experimentation in distributed systems involving SUNYIT, Corning Community College and SUNY Geneseo. Combined resources at the three campuses form a heterogeneous testbed that provides a rich environment for student projects, experimentation, research and instruction. The environment is comprised of workstations running Globus grid and Condor distributed computing software and Linux cluster computers supporting programming environments including Mpich2 MPI libraries. The campuses are also connected with VPNs. Resources are jointly administered at the participating campuses with direct participation from students. Computers and networking resources are accessible to authorized students who have requested and been allocated accounts on the BITS systems. The distributed computing environment is changing rapidly. Currently, each campus is contibuting at least 1 Terabyte of storage and around a dozen workstations, with local network connections ranging from 100Mb to 1 Gb. Campus Internet connections range from 5Mb to 30Mb.
