Caption: Miron Livny, professor of computer sciences, sits in front of a rack of 252 CPUs in the Computer Sciences Building. The cluster of computers is one of six similar sets on campus that make up the Grid Laboratory of Wisconsin (GLOW), a distributed computing system used for processing large amounts of scientific data or running massive simulations. The "peer-to-peer" computing network uses Condor software developed by Livny and his colleagues to scavenge idle computer power and use it to solve supercomputer-sized problems.
