Victor AlessandriniIDRIS - CNRS

Build a European Grid infrastructure

that gives users

a seamless, secure access to

High Performance Computing resources

and that advances

computational science

in Europe

EUROGRID Vision

EUROGRID Goals

European HPC centers build and run a GRID testbed– Seamless access to HPC resources

– Multi-site jobs

Interfaces for important applications– Bio-/Chemical

– Meteo

– CAE

Industrial applications and GRID usage scenarios– ASP services for engineers

– Intranet solutions for distributed organizations

Development of new GRID middleware– E.g. resource broker, efficient data transfer, . . .
