Description

Recently it became a word wide trend among the scientific and research institutes to connect their clusters and supercomputers using high-speed network connections: unifiying their resources in the GRID. This project intends to strengthen this progress in Hungary as well by satisfying the following goals:
• connecting eight university and research lab's hererogeneous computing resources into a meta-computer or virtual supercomputer.
• Proof of its functionality using pilot projects and applications solving real scientific problems.
• Evaluation of a general computing service for resource intensive applications based on the GRID infrastructure.
