Presentation
An overview is presented on the implementation of the computing environment for new research communities served by the Romanian Grid Infrastructure. These include the researchers involved in the Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) project, in computational biology and in the physics of condensed matter and nanomaterials.
The new infrastructure provides access to HTC and...

EGI enables researchers to get access to distributed resources, EGI have recognised the need for simpler and more harmonised access to the distributed EGI Infrastructure. This portal allows individual researchers and small research teams to be productive using EGI without barriers and without unnecessary overhead.
The platform presented during the egi conference will reach production during...

Presentation
Supercomputers are good candidates for opportunistic use, as a non-negligible fraction of the computing time may stay unused while waiting for a large number of cores to be available for a new parallel job to be executed.
In practice this results in a typical occupancy below 90%, leaving yet an interesting 10% of computing time that could be used by short jobs using few cores.

Presentation
The research landscape in France is very scattered. There are a lot of units that depend on multiple research organisms or universities. The computing offer is also scattered and France Grilles is one of the many stakeholders that work at local, regional, disciplinary or national levels.
« France Grilles aims at building and operating a multidisciplinary national Distributed Computing...

This EGI Pilot for the Long Tail of Science [1] aims to design and prototype a new e-Infrastructure platform in EGI to simplify access to Grid and Cloud Computing services for the Long-Tail of Science (LToS), ie. those researchers and small research teams who work with large data, but have limited or no expertise in distributed systems. The project will establish a set of services integrated...

Context: France Grilles set up in 2011 a national VO named vo.france-grilles.fr to welcome all potential users from all disciplines for their research needs if they work in France in the academic research or in partnership with a France Grilles member and if there is not a more relevant VO to welcome them.
This VO is accepted by almost all grid sites in France and by the production cloud...
