Second UKHEC Annual Seminar Abstract

Web Portals, Expert Systems and Integration of Grid-enabled HPC Applications.

UKHEC has, over the last two years, identified and evaluated programming methodology which we believe will be of long-term benefit in developing and using HPC applications for scientific research. There has been a clear focus on the computational Grid for enhanced access to and efficient use of resources from the desktop to high end. The Globus middle-ware provides capabilities to integrate HPC applications with an accepted Internet security infrastructure to exploit distributed resources including parallel systems, visualisation, databases and instruments.

The talk will show where UKHEC has been active in promoting the computational Grid and illustrate how Web portals and Expert systems can now be developed to allow a non specialist to use HPC applications routinely in many research areas for simulation and data analysis.
