a Computing Community

ShareGrid is an Open Computing Community…

  • ShareGrid is a peer-to-peer desktop grid matching the computing needs of small research laboratories (initially located in the Piedmont area in Northern Italy but today being extended to Liguria and Veneto).
  • Share-Grid adopts a cooperative approach, in which each participant allows the others to use his/her own resources on a reciprocity basis.
  • ShareGrid is based on the OurGrid middleware, that provides a set of mechanisms enabling participating entities to quickly, fairly, and securely share their resources.
  • ShareGrid comprises more than 300 machines (including both desktop-class and server-class computers), shared by University research labs (Alessandria, Torino, Genova, Padova) and two private institutions (TOP-IX, CSP)
  • ShareGrid is used to run applications including Distributed Rendering, Simulation of economics systems, Simulation of molecular systems, Simulation of scheduling algorithms for distributed systems, Evaluation of Classifier Systems.
