Description
A central idea of Grid Computing is the virtualization of
heterogeneous resources. To meet this challenge the Institute for
Scientific Computing, IWR, has started the project CampusGrid. Its
medium term goal is to provide a seamless IT environment
supporting the on-site research activities in physics,
bioinformatics, nanotechnology and meteorology. The environment
will include all kinds of HPC resources: vector computers, shared
memory SMP servers and clusters of commodity components as well as
a shared high-performance storage solution. After introducing the
general ideas the talk will inform about the current project
status and scheduled development tasks. This is associated with reports on other
activities in the fields of Grid computing and
high performance computing at IWR.
