Access Grid

Thinking this might be a tool referenced in Q's drop. Interestingly enough the links provided directly to the company are dead. (This page was last edited on 20 December 2019, at 12:28 (UTC).

The AccessGrid Project

The Access Grid 'was born' in November 1998 at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) under the leadership of Rick Stevens (ANL) and Larry Smarr (National Computational Science Alliance (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). In August 2001 Pailthorpe and Willing built the first AccessGrid (AG) node in Sydney VisLab, Australia. There are currently more than 30 Access Grid nodes in Australia and more than 200 in the world. UQ VisLab is involved in Access Grid software development, installation and documentation, consulting and training on an international level. For more information, please contact Chris Willing (willing at itee uq edu au).

News

VisLab was awarded a Special Research Initiative e-research grant by the Australian Research Council in August 2005. We will develop shared software applications (other than PowerPoint e.g. molecular chemistry viewers, GIS imaging) and shared file-systems to extend the AccessGrid beyond meeting scenarios, towards true collaborative working and to the enable incorporation of large data sets in the AG environment.
