As a grid pioneer, HP is a major contributor to projects that are revolutionizing scientific and technical research and bringing powerful capabilities to the enterprise:
|
|
Canada’s Shared Hierarchical Academic Research Network, a high-performance computing grid serving eleven academic institutions, is a test bed for innovation in data storage and visualization over a distributed network. HP’s computing clusters will provide a network capacity of up to 6,000 processors and 500 terabytes of storage. |
|
The Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid is developing data-intensive grid technologies for use by a worldwide community of scientists. HP was the first commercial enterprise to be included in the grid. |
|
The Southern Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructures has established the first grid-enabled R&D IT environment in Europe. HP was chosen to be SPACI’s lead technology partner. |
|
HP is working with the Pittsburgh Supercompting Center, the University of Houston and Rice University to demonstrate the potential of the National Science Foundation’s extensible TeraGrid, the fastest and most powerful computing grid in the U.S, designed to enable open scientific research on a distributed infrastructure |
|
HP is working with researchers at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande in Brazil on an easy-to-use approach to grid computing that makes a grid network more readily available to a wide range of users through OurGrid, an open-source software. |
|
HP is working with researchers in BAE Systems’ Advanced Technology Center, one of the leading early adopters of Grid technologies, to explore collaborative simulation and visualization technologies for aerospace and defense design. |
|
HP worked with DreamWorks to develop innovative technologies for animation in the feature film “Shrek 2.” HP’s Utility Rendering Service created a pooled set of resources, helping DreamWorks manage enormous amounts of computational power to render high-quality film animation. |
|
HP has joined with UNESCO to improve scientific research and reverse “brain drain” Southeastern Europe by providing grid computing technology to universities in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. |
HP is involved with many other leading research projects, including GridLab, a project sponsored by the European Union; National Grid of Singapore; ChinaGrid, sponsored by the Ministry of Education in China; WestGrid, Western Canada Research Grid; GriddleS: Building Grid Applications from Legacy Software, Monash University, Australia; and National Science Foundation-funded research at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Through these projects and others, HP is developing real-world grid technology and expertise to bring to our customers in every industry sector.
