Abstract

The Enabling Grids for E-Science project runs the largest grid computing infrastructure in the world, supporting more than 15,000 researchers in 55 countries harnessing almost 200,000 processors and 60PB of storage. The gLite middleware facilitates seamless data transfer and utilization of computing resources internationally.

At the University of Melbourne, our Application Porting Team assists users from any field with a focus on international collaboration to get their research grid-enabled.

The gLite middleware allows researchers at Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre to share data with their international collaborators, and KVM Virtualisation technology allows accelerator physics researchers Australian Synchrotron to access additional computing resources with a consistent environment.
