• Project involves several Nordic universities and
  HPC centers
• Will continue for 3-4 years more
• Forms the North European Grid Federation of the
  EGEE together with the Dutch Grid, Belgium and
  Estonia
• Will provide middleware for the Nordic Data Grid
  Facility and related projects (SWEGRID, Danish
  Grid etc)
• Shares authentication and authorization
  mechanisms with EDG/LCG-1/EGEE

• European Project ( 5 M, 3 year project started
  March 2002 )
• Polish (Cracow Poznan) / Spanish (CSIC CESGA)
  / German (FZK)
• Objectives
• Extension of GRID in Europe, assuring
  interoperability with DataGrid
• Interactive Applications (human in the loop)
• Environmental fields (meteorology/air pollution,
  flooding crisis management)
• High Energy Physics (interactive analysis over
  distributed datasets)
• Medicine (vascular surgery preparation)

Conclusion

• I have grossly omitted the Global Grid Forum
• The Grid as a concept is being Globally adopted
• Multitude of national and international
  initiatives
• There are several sizable grids which are
  continuously active
• O(10) production level Grids world-wide
  representing O(10 000) CPUs
• Diverse functionality
• High-throughput computing
• Interactive visualisation
• Indication that grid technology is maturing
• Interoperability and common interfaces are real
  issues facing Global Grid activity
• Sociology is at least as important as technology
• Standards bodies, like the GGF, are becoming
  increasingly important
