XtremWeb Deployments

IN2P3 is developping a new global computing platform, based on XtremWeb 1.8.0 : XWHEP (XtremWeb for High Energy Physics).

This new platform :

• introduces the notion of data ;
• extends application deployment by allowing end user applications one ;
• introduces the notion of project ;
• introduces the notion of "public" and "private" computing resources ;
• uses certificates ;

This platorfm permits to continue our work on towards standardization and hopefully resources sharings with EGEE.

XtremWeb-CH

XtremWeb-CH is a software system that makes it easy for scientists and industrials to execute their parallel and distributed applications on a public-resource computing infrastructure (Volunteer Computing). XtremWeb-CH supports diverse High Performance applications. Universities, research centres and private companies can create their own XtremWeb-CH platform while anonymous PC owners can participate to these platforms. They can specify how and when their resources could be used.
