Fusion

9

• Ion Kinetic Transport

• Massive Ray Tracing

• Stellarator Optimization

Commercial exploitation of fusion energy still needs to solve several outstanding problems requiring exceptional computing facilities including supercomputers and cluster-based grids



Life Sciences

Medical Imaging - ThIS (Therapeutic Irradiation Simulator)

• Monte-Carlo simulation of irradiations of living tissues with photons, protons or light ions beams for cancer therapy

Bioinformatics - Grid Protein Sequence Analysis

In silico drug discovery

• Diseases such as HIV/AIDS, SRAS, Bird Flu, Malaria etc. are a threat to public health due to world wide exchanges and circulation of persons

• Grids open new perspectives to in silico drug discovery– Reduced cost and adding an accelerating factor in the search for new drugs

•Avian influenza:

•bird casualties

International collaboration is required for: • Early detection

• Epidemiological watch

• Prevention

• Search for new drugs

• Search for vaccines

Collaborating e-Infrastructures

Goal: Long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe

Approach: Establish a federated model bringing together National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) to build the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI)

EGI Organisation: Coordination and operation of a common multi-national, multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure

To enable and support international Grid-based collaborationTo provide support and added value to NGIsTo liaise with corresponding infrastructures outside Europe
