EDGeS and SEE-GRID-SCI bridge installed and worlking

2010-01-15T17:11:51Z

The Bridge between the EDGeS infrastructucture and SEE-GRID-SCI is up and running. Jobs are regularly crossing and the system is now entering a phase were stress tests will be performed.

The EDGeS team wishes you all the best for 2010!

2010-01-06T11:46:21Z

The EDGeS team wishes you a good number crunching 2010, with a lot of scientific applications running on Desktop Grids and the EDGeS infrastructure.

Meanwhile we published first versions or Fastsheets on applications running on EDGeS:

ISDEP: a fusion simulation
DSP: a signal processing
VISAGE: video analysis

More to follow, so stay tuned.

EDGeS collaboration with IberCivis

2009-11-10T20:53:03Z

In the coming months Ibercivis - the Iberian volunteer desktop grid organisation, will start to work together with the EDGeS project. The Ibercivis platform will be integrated with the EDGeS infrastructure: applications will be able to run on both Grids. The organisations are also looking on how they can jointly work on getting more European citizens donating computing time to science. http://www.ibercivis.es/
