Paper Abstract:
|
Grid computing has recently emerged as a response to the growing demand for computing resources
exhibited by the scientific and researcher communities.
The Grid has witnessed rapid growth in the past few years. Several countries have adopted this
technology as a basic computing infrastructure for scientific and research disciplines.
We present a report on Grid activities in Morocco in the last three years as a consequence of an
established collaboration between our three institutions.
A national grid initiative, called MaGrid, has been setup which aims at deploying a robust, flexible
and sustainable Grid infrastructure.
This initiative proved to be a catalyst for other Moroccan universities and research centers in the
country with a growing interest to collaborate in Grid activities. Moreover the involvement of
Morocco in the EumedGrid project, in the Mediterranean region, will open new collaboration efforts
in terms of the Grid |
