2. 18:15:32Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu2 The world’s grid Biologists are using grids to simulate thousands of molecular drug candidates on their computer. Earth scientists are using grids to track ozone levels using satellites. High energy physicists are using grids in their search for a better understanding of the universe Engineers are using grids to study alternative fuels, such as fusion energy.

10. 18:15:32Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab, http://grid.rit.edu10 caGrid Community Involvement caGrid itself provides no real “data” or “analysis” to caBIG™; its the enabling infrastructure which allows the community to do so Community members add value to the grid as applications, services, and processes (for example: shared workflows)‏ –caGrid provides the necessary core services, APIs, and tooling The real “value” of the grid comes from bringing this information to the “end user”
