Grid Computing for Bioinformatics

 More than 276 genomes have been sequenced and genome sequencing of 1220 organisms are at various levels of completion.  Information retrieved from genome data can prove invaluable for pharmaceutical industries, for in silico drug target identification and new drug discovery.  The enormity of data and complexity of algorithms make the above tasks computationally demanding, necessitating the effective use of computational resources beyond those available to researchers at a single location  Grid technologies enable sharing of bioinformatics data from different sites by creating a virtual organization of the data.

Earthquake Research Grid

Main Features This will connect all the major Earthquake Engineering centers and some identified high performance computer centers of India with high speed network.
EE Labs
Earthquake Observatory

Data Server

This will maintain a database of the digital earthquake data from different earthquake observatories and experimental results from Earthquake laboratories. This will host all the standard software those are necessary to analyze, process and visualize earthquake data. Earthquake researchers from remote places can access this facility through web browsers.
