FutureGrid is an experimental, high-performance grid test-bed project that provides a capability that makes it possible for researchers to tackle complex research challenges in computer science related to the use and security of grids and clouds. These include topics ranging from authentication, authorization, scheduling, virtualization, middleware design, interface design and cyber security, to the optimization of grid-enabled and cloud-enabled computational schemes for researchers in astronomy, chemistry, biology, engineering, atmospheric science and epidemiology. The project team will provide a significant new experimental computing grid and cloud test-bed, named FutureGrid, to the research community, together with user support for third-party researchers conducting experiments on FutureGrid.
FutureGrid network support is provided by the 24x7x365 expert support of the Global NOC at Indiana University in conjunction with the Indiana University Support Center and Research Technology groups.
