Distributed Resources
From Cidays
[edit] Open Science Grid
- OSG brings together computing and storage resources from campuses and research communities into a common, shared grid infrastructure over research networks via a common set of middleware.
- OSG offers participating research communities low-threshold access to more resources than they could afford individually,via a combination of dedicated, scheduled and opportunistic alternatives.
- OSG Consortium members' independently owned and managed resources make up the distributed facility, agreements between them provide the glue for it, their requirements drive its evolution, and they contribute their effort to make it happen.
- OSG's Virtual Data Toolkit provides packaged, tested and supported collections of software for installation on participating compute and storage nodes and a client package for end-user researchers. Individual research communities, the 'virtual organizations', add services according to their scientists' needs.
