  1. Anna J. Ármannsdóttir, RHI Clusters and perspectives in Iceland 2007

  2. Computing Historically in IcelandIBM 1964

  3. Some of the computing clusters in Iceland DECODE: A number of clusters used for genetic research. Meterological Institute: A cluster named Snjolfur. National Energy Authority: access to a cluster named Snjolfur. Science Institute - University of Iceland: Cluster named Bjolfur (Beowulf) and an older one named nano.

  4. Some of the computing clusters in Iceland Iceland GeoSurvey: Cluster named Sleggja The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration – University of Iceland: Cluster bought in 2003. University of Akureyri: One cluster Computing Services, University of Iceland – Cluster named Jotunn. Plus at least a handful of other clusters.

  5. THE GRID

  6. NORDUGrid

  7. NORDUGrid collaboration Registration Authority Cluster administration Connect more icelandic clusters. Conference participation Contact by email and mailing lists Software development and testing

  8. Software Development The aim of the NorduGrid collaboration is to deliver a robust, scalable, portable and fully featured solution for a global computational and data Grid system. NorduGrid develops and deploys a set of tools and services – the so-called ARC middleware, which is a free software.

  9. NGIn supported PhD project at the University of Iceland. Improve collaboration with other universities Improve collaboration with NORDUGrid Increase knowhow in NORDUGrid software Contribute to the NORDUGrid project. http://www.nordugrid.org/ngin/

  10. Icelandic Support for a PhD project Who knows if it will be supported

  11. Grant funds budget 2006 Research Fund: 560 million ÍKr Fund for Research Equipment: 115 million ÍKr Technology Development Fund: 460 million ÍKr Graduate Research Fund: 60 million ÍKr total turnover ~ 1200 million ÍKr a year. Source: http://www.rannis.is/english/about-rannis/

  12. Government Policy Building an education and science system, that is one of the best among nations, in close cooperation with industry and can react to fast changes and lead them. Encourage companies and the state to work together for a progress in research and development for better achievement in profitable innovation, and improve competitivity internationally on the basis of knowhow. http://www.vt.is/framtidarsyn/ Hallgrímur Jónasson
