Grid computing "Mappa mundi" unveiled in Florida

Grid computing "Mappa mundi" unveiled in Florida: Visitors to Supercomputing’06 in Tampa, Florida this week will be the first to see a new interactive map that shows the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) infrastructure and eight of the other world’s largest computing Grids.

Visitors to Supercomputing’06 in Tampa, Florida this week will be the first to see a new interactive map that shows the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) infrastructure and eight of the other world’s largest computing Grids.

The map, developed by researchers from GridPP in the UK and the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, in Geneva, uses Google Earth to pinpoint Grid sites on six continents, showing more than 300 sites overall. Like the medieval ‘mappa mundi’, which showed what was known of the world at the time, this is one of the first attempts to show the whole scientific Grid world.
