		Grid-enabled virus hunting Scientists use distributed computing to compare sequences of DNA in order to identify new viruses.
		Clouds make way for STAR to shine The STAR experiment, running compute-intensive analyses on the OSG to study nuclear decay, has successfully made use of cloud computing as well.
		Single and playing hard to get High-energy physicists recently discovered the top quark produced as a single particle. The tools and techniques that made this discovery possible advance the goal of observing the Higgs particle.

"The OSG software stack and operation services allows the STAR collaboration to aggregate its resources into a seamless pool of computational cycles covering for all Monte Carlo event generation needs. The monitored fabric offers a superb opportunity for carrying research with excellent efficiencies achieved."

Condor

Condor is open source software developed and maintained by the Condor Project that converts collections of distributively owned computers into a distributed high-throughput computing facility, managing both resources (machines) and resource requests (jobs). More information
