ITIM activity in Grid and High Performance Computing

It is important to find ways to make the most of the resources you already have. In sectors like research, life science and many others significant improvements have been realized through grid computing. This domain allows us to link together the processors, storage and/or memory of distributed computers to make efficient use of all available computer resources to solve large problems quicker. This paper will discuss the multiple directions of the Grid Computing and High Performance Computing data center used at the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technology (ITIM) from Cluj Napoca, a key computing center in the Nord-West part of Romania.
