PLGrid infrastructure
The idea of the PLGrid Program has been invented by Cyfronet as a result of vast knowledge and experience gained in variety of national and EU projects. In 2007, it constituted formally as the PLGrid Consortium consisting Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Warsaw, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, Wroclaw Centre for Networking and Supercomputing, Academic Computer Centre in Gdansk and Academic Computer Centre Cyfronet AGH as the initiator and coordinator of the PLGrid Program and Consortium. The work carried out by Consortium partners led to the full-fledged distributed infrastructure for scientific computing. This infrastructure comprises not only high performance computing hardware, but also mass storage and dedicated tools for deployment of scientific applications on the available resources.
