World's biggest computing grid launched
This story is from the category Computing Power
Date posted: 03/10/2008
The world?s largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind?s biggest data challenge from the earth?s most powerful accelerator. Today, three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million gigabytes of LHC data every year.
?Particle physics projects such as the LHC have been a driving force for the development of worldwide computing grids,? said Ed Seidel, director of the US National Science Foundation?s Office of Cyberinfrastructure. ?The benefits from these grids are now being reaped in areas as diverse as mathematical modeling and drug discovery.?
