Computing Grand Challenges

Grid, Cloud and e-Research Software

G-R-Toolkit

The G-R-Toolkit combines the best software developed at STFC during its e-Science Programme from 2001-2007. It allows users of many applications in computational research to manage their high-performance computing and data and information management tasks directly from their desktop systems. See here for more information and user manual.

NW-GRID

The North West Grid, NW-GRID, is a collaboration between Daresbury Laboratory and the Universities of Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester. With the help of NWDA funding, we established and operate a computational Grid comprising of high-performance computing systems coupled by a high-speed private fibre network between the sites. NW-GRID offers world-class services founded in the deployment and exploitation of Grid middleware technologies enabling the capabilities of the Grid to be realised in leading-edge computational science and engineering applications.

For more information see the new NW-GRID Web site.
