There
are many large-scale projects aimed at building "Grids" for a variety
of applications and communities as well as projects developing grid
technologies and technology frameworks. Several are listed here as
examples. This is not, however, an exhaustive list of grid-building
activities.
Application Community Initiatives
- Workshop on Advanced Collaborative Environments
- To be held at the 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2002) in Berlin, 21-24 May 2002
- STAR TAP
- The Science, Technology, And Research Transit Access Point
- StarLight
- StarLight, the optical STAR TAP
- The Access Grid
- The Access Grid (AG) is the ensemble of resources that can be used to support human interaction across the grid.
- Global Grid Forum
- the international Forum of the Grid Community, created through a merger of US, European and Asia-Pacific Forum communities
- The Datagrid Project
- the
EU sponsored project for the development of a computational and data
intensive grid for High Energy Physics, Earth Observation and Biology
applications
- The Griphyn Project
- the NSF sponsored Petabyte-scale computational environments for data intensive science in the 21st century
- NEESgrid
- network
for Earthquake Engineering and Simulation, a US National Science
Foundation funded team developing a national-scale virtual laboratory
for the earthquake engineering community
General-Purpose Grid Technology Projects
- Globus
- the project which is developing fundamental technologies needed to build computational grids
- Legion
- an object-based, meta-systems software project at the University of Virginia
- Condor
- a High Throughput Computing System at the University of Wisconsin
- SInRG
- the Scalable Intracampus Research Grid research project at the University of Tennessee
- EuroGrid
- EU
sponsored project to deploy a Grid testbed among multiple European high
performance computing laboratories, focusing on a suite of applications
including biomolecular simulation, weather prediction, coupled CAE
simulations, structural analysis, and real-time data processing.
