FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications GATE -It was the first one deployed -Robust application - Benchmark problems were solved - Training activities and preparation of real cases are on the way
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications GATE
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications MOODLE (Modular-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) - Possibility to use the grid computing power for online simulations - MOODLE is modular, new modules were added to interact with the GRID
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications MOODLE in a grid environment
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications MOODLE in a grid environment
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications AERMOD -Steady-state plume model - USEPA “prefered general-purpose” model to estimate local levels of ozone, volatile organic compounds, CO, NO2, SO2, particles and lead
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications AERMOD - CPU intensive - Suitable for gridification, because the receptors are independent and the contribution from a source is additive - 5 times faster running in a Grid environment
FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America Third EELA Conference, Catania, 3-5 December 2007 Applications AERMOD UI
