Welcome to the web site of the Polish Grid
Polish Infrastructure for Information Science Support in the European Research Space PL-Grid.
The goal of the project is to provide the Polish scientific community with an IT platform based on Grid computer clusters, enabling e-science research in various fields. This infrastructure will be both compatible and interoperable with existing European and worldwide Grid frameworks. The system will ensure scalability and enable the integration of additional local clusters, belonging to universities, research institutions and technology platforms. We foresee exploitation of PL-Grid by state authorities, crisis management teams and industrial partners.

The PL-Grid project will be promoted at the exhibition stand held during the CGW'10 in Krakow, Poland, on 11-13 October 2010.
The article with information about PL-Grid was published in the first issue of the EGI-InSPIRE project's "Inspired" newsletter.
PL-Grid was advertised during the HPC 2010 workshop, in Cetraro, Italy, on 21-25 June 2010.
The Zeus cluster was 161st in the June 2010 edition of the TOP500 list. This cluster is part of the all-Poland grid infrastructure being created in the framework of the PL-Grid project.
Poland - as the first country in Europe - has initiated functioning of the National Grid Initiative (NGI).
