Followed is some initial information about us.

The Erasmus Grid Office offers services to the researchers within the Erasmus
Medical Centre who are in need of high performance computing resources for
there projects. There are several grid infrastructures where we have access on
which include desktop grids and dedicated clusters.

Erasmus Computing Grid: A joint collaboration between the Erasmus Medical
Centre and the High school of Rotterdam which consist of Condor based desktop
grids.

D-Grid: The German Grid Initiative funded by the Federal Ministry of
Education and Research, a grid infrastructure consisting of numerous
dedicated high performance computing clusters where they use Globus,
LCG/gLite and UNICORE as middlewares.

EDGeS (Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science), a European project with the aim
of creating an integrated Grid infrastructure consisting of BOINC and
XtremWeb based desktop grids.

Fraunhofer Playstation Cluster: A joint cooperation between the Fraunhofer
ITWM and IBM Development Lab in Böblingen which consist of thousand cell
processor cores.

This is controlled by a backend that handles all the grid related tasks on
these infrastructures for our users, who in there turn use a frontend system to
communicate with the backend. Correlizer is one of those services where the
backend will eventually also schedule jobs to Boinc servers and as most of you
already have noticed AlmereGrid is one of them. Currently the bridge is not
completely hooked up to the backend and the pipeline is setup in a slightly
different way to make it work.
