European Grid Initiative Sample Clauses

European Grid Initiative. Aside from the large user community and impressive use, the production grid infrastructure has had many notable successes. It has allowed scientists from all over Europe and indeed from all over the world federate their computing re-­‐ sources to advance their scientific aims. More importantly, the infrastructure al-­‐ lows them to federate their data and expertise to accomplish more than they would be able to do singlehandedly. Common APIs and service interfaces make it possible to take advantage of these distributed resources without having to modify applications for each site. Despite its success, the grid also has its limitations. The uniformity of service interfaces unfortunately does not extend to the underlying computing resources, where users are exposed to significant heterogeneities in the computing envi-­‐ ronment, complicating applications and increasing failure rates. Passive calcula-­‐ tions are handled well by the grid, but many applications require active services to coordinate the distributed analyses. Either scientists must provide their own resources for such services or negotiate with a particular site to provide them. This reduces the speed at which new calculations can be done. Virtualization technologies have matured rapidly over the last few years, provid-­‐ ing a mechanism for offering customized, uniform environments for users. This additional flexibility comes with negligible costs in terms of processing power, network bandwidth, and disk I/O in modern systems. Using grid technologies combined with virtualization will allow the grid to provide users with a homogeneous computing environment, simplifying applications and reduc-­ ing failures. In parallel with the increasing maturity of virtualization, cloud technologies have emerged. These technologies allow users to dynamically allocate computing re-­‐ sources (often in less than a minute) and to specify the characteristics for the al-­‐ located resources. The fusion of cloud and grid technologies would provide a more dynamic and flexible computing environment for grid application de-­ velopers. Cloud and virtualization technologies also offer other benefits to adminis-­ trators of resource centres, such as the migration of live services for load bal-­‐ ancing or the deployment of redundant servers. Reduced costs for managing re-­‐ sources immediately benefits users in freeing money for additional computing resources or in having better user support from administrators. A combined...

  • Synchronization, Commissioning and Commercial Operation 4.1.1 The Power Producer shall give at least thirty (30) days written notice to the SLDC and GUVNL, of the date on which it intends to synchronize the Power Project to the Grid System.

  • TECHNICAL EVALUATION (a) Detailed technical evaluation shall be carried out by Purchase Committee pursuant to conditions in the tender document to determine the substantial responsiveness of each tender. For this clause, the substantially responsive bid is one that conforms to all the eligibility and terms and condition of the tender without any material deviation. The Institute’s determination of bid’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.
