Abstract

Internet computing and Grid technologies promise to change the way we tackle complex problems. Harnessing these new technologies effectively, it will transform scientific disciplines ranging from high-energy physics to life sciences. This paper describes a metropolitan-scale Grid computing platform named TIGER Project (standing for Taichung Integrating Grid Environment and Resource), which basically interconnects universities and high schools' Grid computing resources and sharing available resources among them, for investigations in system technologies and high performance applications. This novel project shows the viability of implementation of such project in a metropolitan city.
