Press Release - Help solving the world's energy crisis with EDGeS@Home
Almere, 2010-03-15, Producing energy in a sustainable, safe and environmental friendly way is one of the main challenges of our time. Nuclear Fusion is one of the promising energy sources, but the technology is difficult to master. It could provide endless energy - estimated to be sufficient for about 2 billion years, there is no CO2 produced and no nuclear waste. Fusion reactors are also inherently safe, because the reaction automatically stops when something goes wrong. Currently Europe, and other countries from all over the world are working together to develop and build nuclear fusion reactors. To predict and optimise the behaviour of nuclear fusion reactions in these machines, a lot of computer calculations are needed. Everyone can now help with solving this problem by donating unused computing time to the EDGeS@Home project. The otherwise wasted computing time can then be used by scientists in Europe to run software called ISDEP designed to do part of these reactor simulations. ISDEP has been ported by the EDGeS project to the EDGeS infrastructure and is used in EDGeS@Home. In this straightforward way, this ‘green’ approach of information technology and computation make the Fusion research itself environmental friendly now. Read further..
3rd AlmereGrid Grid Experience Workshop& annual Gridforum.nl meeting

EDGeS connects more than 100.000 computers to EGEE creating one of the largest computer infrastructures in Europe
Budapest, 2009-12-14, The EDGeS infrastructure that connects Desktop Grids to EGEE and other Service Grids, announced that the total number of computers connected to the Desktop Grids in EDGeS, has surpassed the 100.000. This milestone shows there are significant additional computational resources available to European scientists that are connected to EGEE via the Bridge technology of EDGeS. The combined size of the Grids interconnected in this way is now over 250.000 processors - one of the largest European computational infrastructures. Read further...

EELA-2 project connects OurGrid to gLite over EDGeS Bridge
Budapest, 2009-12-07, the EELA-2 project has created a Bridge that connects the OurGrid middleware to gLite, the middleware that is also used by the large European EGEE Grid. This OurGrid-gLite Bridge is an implementation of the EDGeS 3G Bridge. Thanks to the new bridge, scientists in Latin-America can now seamlessly submit jobs to both Grids. When they do not have enough computing capacity on the gLite part of the EELA-2 e-infrastructure they can use the OurGrid resources. Read Further... Other formats: Download in PDF. Download in ODT.

Real time video streaming and analysis now available in EDGeS and EGEE
December 22, 2008. Correlation Systems has completed its contribution to the EDGes project which means that video data can now be analyzed on the European Grid. ViSAGE is a real-time video analysis tool able to identify specific objects or behaviors within a video stream. The aim is utilizing this ability to create an international centre for processing television, Internet, CCTV video steams. Correlation Systems has finalized the porting of Video Stream Analysis in a Grid Environment (ViSAGE) to desktop grid environment as well as to EGEE. |
