Computing - Cloud

SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), a basic unit within the University of Warsaw, founded in 1993, is a research centre in computational sciences and a centre of high-performance e-infrastructure (www.icm.edu.pl). The research at ICM, of strongly interdisciplinary profile, encompasses computational and information sciences, with special focus on their mathematical foundations and applications in other areas of science, technology and e-economy. In Poland and internationally, ICM is widely recognized as a provider of wide-range e-infrastructure services, in particular those based on high-key knowledge infrastructure.
The Worker Nodes on Demands Service (WNoDeS) is a software INFN is developing. It is built around a tight integration with a LRMS (a "batch system") and is running in production at the INFN Tier-1 Computing Center. Its main characteristics are:
dCache provides a system for storing and retrieving huge amounts of data, distributed among a large number of heterogenous server nodes, under a single virtual filesystem tree with a variety of standard access methods. Depending on the Persistency Model, dCache provides methods for exchanging data with backend (tertiary) Storage Systems as well as space management, pool attraction, dataset replication, hot spot determination and recovery from disk or node failures. Connected to a tertiary storage system, the cache simulates unlimited direct access storage space. Data exchanges to and from the
Créé en 2007 sous l’impulsion de Guy Wormser, l’Institut des Grilles fédére l’ensemble des actions du CNRS concernant les grilles de calcul et le cloud computing.
Les « grilles informatiques » sont des infrastructures virtuelles constituées d’un ensemble d’ordinateurs, géographiquement éloignés mais fonctionnant en réseau pour fournir une puissance globale. Apparues voici quelques années sous l’impulsion de la physique des particules, elles permettent à des chercheurs et industriels de disposer à moindre coût de ressou
