National Distributed High Performance Computing Infrastructure for PL-Grid Users

  • Chapter
eScience on Distributed Computing Infrastructure

Abstract

The article describes the PL-Grid computing infrastructure built as a result of the first PL-Grid-based project “Polish Infrastructure for Supporting Computational Science in the European Research Space”, then enlarged, upgraded and improved during the PLGrid Plus project. Five Polish supercomputing sites joined forces to create a cross-country integrated computing service for our scientists. These sites were Cyfronet in Kraków, ICM in Warsaw, PSNC in Poznań, TASK in Gdańsk and WCSS in Wrocław. PL-Grid Infrastructure enables Polish scientists carrying out scientific research based on the simulations and large-scale calculations using the computing clusters as well as it provides convenient access to distributed computing resources.
