16. R. Hughes-Jones ESnet Meeting Kyoto July 2000 The Grid uGovernment has discussed 165M pounds to develop Computing Grid Infrastructure. uAcross Research Councils Initiative – not just HEP u Setting up management structure to co- ordinate PPARC activities. uHave run Globus workshop so US developers could inform the community. uSeveral sites now working with Globus toolkit. uWeb site www.datagrid.org.uk

17. R. Hughes-Jones ESnet Meeting Kyoto July 2000 The Grid uKeen Interest in the EU DataGrid (CERN) middleware proposal. uHEP experiments will need world Grid access. uGrid Networking interests include: –High throughput, reliable, very large data transfers –QoS issues – diffserv, RSVP and packet marking –Monitoring, Metrics, and prediction accuracy –Modelling uPhysics Applications
