A new website, GridGuide, has been set up to provide a map of global grid resources that are available for tackling complex scientific problems. The GridGuide currently includes nodes in 23 countries.
GridGuide was developed by the EU co-funded GridTalk project. Sarah Pearce, project manager, says that sharing information on grid technology is essential to the continued success of e-science. “Grid computing is powering research into issues that affect us all: global warming, renewable energy, drug discovery and more,” said Pearce. “GridGuide tries to show what it’s like to be part of that, encouraging each of us to be aware of and involved in the global research effort.”
The GridGuide is non-profit and inclusion is free for institutes using grid computing for their research. The site aims to increase its global coverage over the next twelve months and is working with GridPP’s Real Time Monitor to create an interactive 3D version of the site.
