Description
The usage of grid infrastructures for fusion research has provided interesting results that open themselves new lines of research. There is an important number of applications running in the grid with different schemes and structures, which has allowed to gain experience in porting different types of codes. For instance, we can find sequential applications, PIC codes and optimisation procedures based upon genetic algorithms. The use of the grid for data management is totally new in fusion and the results of this pilot experience will be shown in this session. Finally, an experience of a complex workflow between an application that runs in a share memory computer and in the grid will be also presented. This last experience opens a wide range of possibilities for building complex workflows among different types of applications that run in different infrastructures.
