Grid-enabled Spatial Data Infrastructure for environmental sciences: Challenges and opportunities

“…The Grid is mainly used within the scientific community that runs large-scale models and resource time-consuming applications (e.g. climate simulations, particle physics, molecular docking) whereas Cloud targets small to medium companies that wish to scale on-demand their web-based applications without the need to invest in a large computational infrastructure [27,33,34].…”

Large scale computational science on federated international grids: The role of switched optical networks

“…HARC has been demonstrated successfully, for example at iGrid2005 [40], at GLIF 2006 and SC 06, 2 and, more recently, was used to schedule some of the optical network connections being used to broadcast Thomas Sterling's HPC Class, broadcast live in High-Definition Video from Louisiana State University. 3 There are two deployments of HARC in use today: the EnLIGHTened testbed in the United States [41] and on NorthWest Grid [42], a regional Grid in England.…”

Co-allocation of compute and network resources using HARC

“…The ever-improving availability of high-bandwidth, low-latency optical networks promises to enable the use of distributed scientific applications [7,3] as a day-to-day activity, rather than simply for demonstration purposes. However, in order to enable this transition, it must also become simple for users to reserve all the resources the applications require.…”
