GOVIS Speaker Evaluation
I’ve just received the evaluation of my talk about BeSTGRID at the GOVIS conference last month.
The proceedings are listed here.
If you would like a copy of the slides from my talk, the powerpoint is available here.
There is a ‘video’ of my presentation here provided by Mediasite (just do a search on this page for my name).

BeSTGRID’s first test of cross-site GRID job submission
BeSTGRID conducted a transparent cross-site grid computation from Auckland to Canterbury: from my Auckland Windows Desktop I was able to load my GRID certificate, provide a passphrase, and then have transparently access to the DataGRID (Grid ftp) and computational resources (which currently reside at Canterbury). I ran a MrBayes computation on the GRID and downloaded the results to my desktop.
All of this through nice GUIs and tools courtesy of APAC.
