GRIDBUS RELEASES ALCHEMI [.NET ENTERPRISE GRID FRAMEWORK] v0.8.0
Alchemi is an enterprise Grid computing framework for Windows built using .NET with the primary goal of being easy to use. It provides the runtime machinery to construct a high-throughput enterprise Grid environment out of underutilized desktops, and a programming environment to develop Grid applications.
GROMACS BIOCHEMICAL SOFTWARE PORTED TO ClearSpeed PROCESSOR
ClearSpeed's unique parallel architecture is designed to dramatically accelerate floating-point processing, enabling supercomputing capabilities on affordable platforms including clusters and workstations.
PYTHON/GLOBUS TOOLS SPEED UP DEVELOPMENT OF DATA GRID FOR LIGO
LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, is a facility dedicated to detecting cosmic gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of space and time -- and interpreting these waves to provide a more complete picture of the universe.
R-GMA INCLUDED IN LATEST LCG RELEASE
LCG recently announced a new release of their Grid Software, LCG-2_2_0, which now includes the R-GMA (Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture) middleware. R-GMA is important for a number of experiments that will use it for monitoring their jobs and for the new LCG accounting infrastructure.
