Innovative technologies for grid computing end users

Pasquale Pagano, from CNR - ISTI is presenting us a technology designed for grid computing end users. The aim is to provide a graphical interface, helping user in their tasks.

Can grid computing work with IPv6?

Everybody has to realize that we won't have any IPv4 free on 2 or 3 year, at maximum...
As a consequence, IPv6 is our future; but grid computing ready for it?
Etienne Duble from CNRS UREC is demonstrating us that it could be!

Grid Computing helping fusion simulations

This demonstration show us a fusion simulation and a video made for the first time.
Jakub Moscicki from CERN, is presenting the project concept, and Francisco Castejon, from CIEMAT, explains the demonstration.

NorduGrid's ARC middleware

Martin Savko introduces NorduGrid's ARC grid middleware.

See inside the stars

Ever wondered how astronomers know what stars are made of?

Sarunas Mikolaitis presents new software from BalticGridII and the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy of Vilnius University. The software helps scientists to analyse the chemical composition of stars by allowing them to investigate and model synthetic "spectra".

Called SYNTSPEC, the application uses grid computing to power its massive computing needs.

How to make the grid like a big IPHONE?

Antonio Calanducci, from INFN Catania, explain us how they have set a new browser for the grid computing, based on Itunes concept.
The idea is to make the grid as easy to use as an Iphone!!!

Enabling Desktop Grids for e-SciencE

Ad Emmen introduces the Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science (EDGES) project, an initiative that allows anyone with an idle computer to contribute its power to the EGEE grid and thus help out with real scientific research.

e-nmr for grid-powered protein structure simulations

Tsjerk Wassenaar introduces the benefits of the e-nmr grid platform for structural biology, a user-friendly interface that allows scientists to easily access grid computing resources to power simulations of protein structure.

Open Nebula for virtualization project RESERVOIR

The RESERVOIR (Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers) is an European Union project uses virtualization and cloud technologies: providing and managing resources and services on an on-demand basis at competitive costs with high quality of service.

This demonstration by Javier Fontan explains the Open Nebula server management technology.

Medical image analysis using the EGEE grid

Sorina Pop and Tristan Glatard present at the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) User Forum in Catania, demonstrating their grid-powered graphical interface for analyzing medical images.

Comparing protein structure using a computer grid

Edgars Znots from the University of Latvia explains "CopS" -- the Complex Comparison of Protein Structures -- a technology that uses the grid power of BalticGrid to map relationships between proteins.

WISDOM interface for easy grid-powered disease research

The WISDOM project has been doing great work on grid-powered anti-malaria drug discovery. Now, thanks to a new interface, it's even easier for biologists to access the power of computer grids. The system works by allowing biologists to select a series of "ligand" molecules and simulate their ability to "dock" with disease proteins. Presented by Jean Salzemann of CNRS IN2P3.

Medical analysis with grid computing with CNRS

A demonstration by Johan Montagnat, from CNRS, talking about medical analysis with grid computing, using a workflow.

Bringing extinct instruments back to life with grids

The ASTRA project aims to reconstruct the sound or timbre of ancient instruments that no longer exist, using grid computing to analyse archaeological data gathered as fragments from excavations, written descriptions, pictures...

How is it done? Check out this demo, presented by Guiseppe La Rocca of INFN as part of the EGEE User Forum in Catania.

Choose a movie using grid-powered recommendations

Can't decide what movie to watch tonight? Let grid computing choose for you.

Check out this movie-choosing demonstration, presented by Leandro NEUMANN CIUFFO of INFN:

Tracking Service Level Status for the LHC grid

Ever wonder how you can keep track of all the different services needed to manage the data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN?

This Service Level Status demonstration, presented by Alessandro di Girolamo of CERN shows how it's done.

Grid-powered DrugScreenerG

Our 2nd demo explains how the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, is contributing to EGEE's drug screening applications. Demo presented by Jincheol KIM.

Grid computing to manage climate change data

Our 1st demo (and webcast) from the EGEE User Forum 2009 is from the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change and University of Salento. It's presented by Sandro Fiore and explains how grid technology is helping scientists to manage massive amounts of scientific data about climate change.
