The UK National Grid Service (NGS) passed a significant milestone in May when Cardiff and Bristol universities joined as the first non-founder members of the service by making some of their computing facilities available on the “Grid”. .........
Through the Welsh e-Science Centre (WeSC), Cardiff University now provides access to its Silicon Graphics IRIX cluster, and through the Centre for e-Research Bristol (CeRB), Bristol University is providing access to a Beowulf cluster of several hundred linked PCs. Neil Geddes, Director of the Grid Operation Support Centre, hailed this as “a major step in the development of the NGS as it moves to become core infrastructure for collaborative research computing”.
