MD-GRID – MD-GRID Infrastructure
RENAM Association as the National scientific-educational network of Moldova (NREN) is coordinating Grid activities in Moldova since 2007 when it was established MD-Grid – National Grid Initiative (NGI). First GRID-Site started operation in 2008. MD-Grid consist of three GRID-Sites located in the Research and Educational Network Association of Moldova (RENAM), in the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of Academy of Science of Moldova (IMI ASM) and the State University of Moldova (USM). Grid site parameters:
- Total nodes: 74 CPU-cores, 69 GB of RAM, 6 TB HDD;
- Computing nodes: 40 CPU-cores, 40 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD.
Technical specification of MD-GRID site is given in the table below.
