The Grid refers to an
infrastructure that enables the
integrated, collaborative use of
high-end computers, networks,
databases, and scientific
instruments owned and managed by
multiple organizations. Grid
applications often involve large
amounts of data and/or computing
and often require secure
resource sharing across
organizational boundaries, and
are thus not easily handled by
today's Internet and Web
infrastructures.
What is TechGrid?
TechGrid is a collection of
about 200 Windows PC's and the
HPCC Unix and Linux
multiprocessors organized into a
computational grid. It may be
accessed using Avaki (all
platforms) or Globus
(Unix/Linux) software.
