1. 1 CENTER FOR PARALLEL COMPUTERS Grid Computing @ PDC Olle Mulmo mulmo@pdc.kth.se

2. 2 CENTER FOR PARALLEL COMPUTERS Recent activities www.pdc.kth.se/grid/ International  Globus Alliance, GGF, NCSA collaboration Continental  (European Grid Support Centre), EGEE, NextGrid  NEG, (NorduGrid), Lyon collaboration National  SweGrid, VR-IT  NGSSC Grid Computing Course Local  SICS collaboration  Own research and development

3. 3 CENTER FOR PARALLEL COMPUTERS Collaboration is key! The problem space is gigantic Funding is insufficient ”Grid ecosystem”  Complementary building blocks  Common design philosophy  Common ”standards”

4. 4 CENTER FOR PARALLEL COMPUTERS The SweGrid Accounting System (SGAS) Joint with UmU, UU, SICS and INSA Lyon
