MAPPER at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) 2011
During the ISC'11 conference MAPPER has organized a joint meeting with both PRACE and EGI project representatives working together under the MAPPER Task Force. The main aim of the Task Force, established after a series of meetings over the last three months, is to enable a closer collaboration among resource providers and multi-scale application communities at the European level. Another goal is to support the execution and management of multi-scale distributed applications on example production sites. Two distributed multi-scale application scenarios have been selected as pilot jobs for the first MAPPER review, 24th November 2011. MAPPER applications will take advantage of the simultaneous access, advance reservation and co-allocation of computing resources offered by SARA (PRACE), PSNC (PL-Grid/EGI), Cyfronet (PL-Grid/EGI), LRZ (PRACE/EGI) and UCL (NGS).
