HPF Computing

The Datacutter is a Grid computing tool that allows the management of large data sets and it was cornerstone in the development of information technologies for the instrumented oilfield in the NSF-ITR project. Developed by our partners (Joel Saltz, Tahsin Kurc, Umit Catalyurek, Alan Sussman, among others) from the The Ohio State University and the University of Maryland:
