Research

Our work is focused upon the application of e-Science/e-Research and Grid technologis with particular emphasis upon supporting domains requiring finer grained, user-oriented security. We have a variety of completed and on-going projects in domains such as bioinformatics, clinical trials, epidemiology, electroniccs, the social sciences amongst numerous others. Our goal is to support research collaborations including those that cross institutional boundaries - this includes inter-discipinary research collaborations. These typically require access to highly distributed, heterogeneous, domain specific data resources, and demand user driven research environments that seamlessly exploit a variety of large scale HPC resources. Our model is to make these environments completely transparent to end users who simply want to undertake their own research and not become immersed in advanced middleware solutions.

Through NeSC and the role of the major HPC facilities on campus such as ScotGrid (www.scotgrid.ac.uk) the University of Glasgow are full partners in the National Grid Service (www.ngs.ac.uk).
