U.S. Scientific Computing Enters New Era with Grid3 US-LHC experiments use grid computing to meet “data challenge”

Cambridge, Mass.—Scientists of the Open Science Grid Consortium, meeting at a workshop at Harvard University, today (September 9), announced the success of a nine-month trial operation of a U.S. data grid for particle physics experiments and other scientific applications. The prototype grid, called Grid3, uses the Internet to combine the computational resources of 26 universities and national laboratories across the U.S. to serve the computing needs of more than 10 research groups in particle physics, astrophysics, bioinformatics and computer science.
