Abstract

This paper presents the Virtual EZ Grid project, based on the XtremWeb-CH XWCH volunteer computing platform. The goal of the project is to introduce a flexible distributed computing system, with i an infrastructure with a non-trivial amount of computing resources from various institutes, ii a stable platform that manages these computing resources and provides advanced interfaces for applications, and iii a set of applications that take benefit of the platform. This paper concentrates on the application support of the new version of XWCH, and describes how two medical applications, MedGIFT and NeuroWeb, utilise it.
