This is the home of the Enhancing Access to the ARCS/Nimrod Service space. Mini-grant Project OverviewThe Nimrod toolkit manages the execution of parameter sweeps, optimization and experiment design across clusters and grids. It enables overall experiment management, i.e., access to computational resources, distribution of jobs and files, and gathering of results. Parameter sweeps are typical in many scientific and engineering areas, hence the employment of Nimrod in many disciplines, such as cardiac modelling, drug design, econometrics models, aerofoil simulations, quantum chemistry, radiotherapy, crystallography, air traffic control, mathematics, astronomy, imaging systems, and climate studies. Users include local e-researchers from Monash University, University of Queensland, Griffith University, CSIRO, University of Sydney, as well as international partners from Cranfield University, Oxford University, Stanford University, University of Zurich, Cardiff University, and UC San Diego. Overall, Nimrod provides a valuable service extending research capability, leading to faster outcomes. A web-based Nimrod Portal at Monash University has been serving local and ARCS users since 2007, but it is not currently Shibbolised.
This has been achieved by:
The outcome of this project is easier access to the Nimrod Portal, drawing more e-researchers into the service and into the federation. Mini-grant Project Team Contacts
