The GRAPE is a special-purpose computer for performing N-body gravitational computations which are critical to the understanding of such large scale phenomena as the formation and evolution of star clusters.

Two online telemicroscopy systems, one at NCMIR and one at Osaka, use international research networks to provide interactive, remote control of high-power microscopes.

High-definition astronomical images are quickly retrieved and downloaded from the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii.

The NSF International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program makes the first award to TransPAC2 and Indiana University

"The primary goal of TransPAC2 is to increase research and educational (R/E) collaboration between the United States and Asia. To increase R/E collaboration, TransPAC2 will deploy a secure, production-quality high-performance network infrastructure between Asia and the US and will assist our Asian partners in the deployment of high-performance infrastructure within Asia. The TransPAC2 Project will provide documentation about how the TransPAC2 network can be used to further collaborations. TransPAC2 will enhance collaborations between US researchers and governments and Asian researchers and governments. TransPAC2 will also provide technical support for collaboration activities where requested."
