GIRD is a research project with the objective to develop specifications and prototype implementations for the future IT infrastructure for large-scale provisioning of IT services.The Grid and Cloud computing environments in focus for our research are aimed for datacenters providing the infrastructure for internet-based services, for in-house data departments serving their companies' needs, and for large-scale pooling of distributed supercomputing capacity.
Our projects embraces the whole research cycle from basic methodological research on fundamental theory, methods, and algorithms; via system design and implementation of prototype software; to deployment and large-scale test and evaluation.
