CCL also benefits from its affiliation with both Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (UMDNJ-RWJMS). At Rutgers, the Center for Advanced Information Processing (CAIP), conducts forefront research in the application of computing technology. CAIP's laboratories for parallel computing and scientific visualization, machine vision, multimedia, virtual reality, speech processing and computer aided design are among the most modern available. A brief overview of these resources follows (you may visit CAIP's web site for more detailed information): Sun Microsystems Enterprise 12000: 36 CPUs, 108 GB RAM, and close to 1/2 TB of RAID5 storage (Sun's highest-end multi-processor server), Sun Enterprise10000: 128 CPUs, 512 MB per processor, and approximately 3/4 TB of disk storage; 16 Opteron Sun v20Z Cluster, an IBM SP2 multiprocessor system: 8 CPUs; 20 Sun SparcServer-20/62's, each with 2 CPU's and between 192MB and 512MB of RAM; A Beowolf cluster in The Applied Software Systems Lab (TASSL): 64 Pentium IVs; 4 Processor SGI Onyx2 (R10000) with InfiniteReality2 graphics and 768 MB RAM; 4 Processor SGI Onyx (R4400) with VTX graphics and 512MB RAM; Approximately 300 PC, Sun, SGI, and Apple workstations; Numerous machine vision and multimodal attachments, such as Datacube processors and Virtual Reality displays; Avid Xpress 2:1 nonlinear editing system; High speed 100 MB LAN with access to Internet and Internet 2. Additionally there are approximately 300 PC, Sun, SGI, and Apple workstations at the CAIP Center.

EOHSI's affiliation with Rutgers University lends access to an infrastructure that involves additional high performance resources. As a member of the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI), Rutgers University is one of thirty-seven partner institutions that is developing a ubiquitous, continuous, and pervasive computational infrastructure to support interdisciplinary research by the national community. At the local level, Rutgers has provided networking leadership to the higher education community in New Jersey through the New Jersey Intercampus Network (NJIN) consortium of nearly fifty higher education institutions. Currently available facilities include: 28,250 active hos t devices (including 1300 IP-only dial-up ports and 875 IP Subnets); 434 Novell LANs; 336 Appletalk zones; 150 interconnected buildings distributed across all campuses; forty miles of Rutgers-owned fiber optic inter-building backbone cable; 40,000 active n etwork users; 327 Cisco routers of various models; and IOS version 3 Cisco Lightstream 1010 ATM switches.

UMDNJ provides computing support services through its Information Services & Technology (IST) division. IST offers an extensive range of resources that support education, research and healthcare at UMDNJ. Management of these services is distributed among IST departments and is provided on an enterprise-wide scale. Each UMD campus has at least one computer lab that is managed by IST and provides resources such as PCs, high-end graphics workstations, scanners, laser printers, color printers, slide makers, etc. Video teleconferencing is also available. The systems are currently being used for distance learning, telemedicine and administrative conferencing. IST's Academic Computing Services (ACS) delivers a broad array of on-line information and computational services focused on research, instruction, and information access. These resources, available in the ACS campus computer labs and through remote access via UMDnet include: networked UNIX campus hosts with Internet connectivity, electronic mail, USENET network news, web-based University-wide Information System, graphics, statistics, biomolecular modeling, and a wide variety of personal productivity tools and high quality output devices.

CCL also maintains accounts on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Computing Center mainframes.
