Prior experience in HPC/Grid Middleware and Applications
Parallel computing and cluster technology In the early stage, we are focused on a cheap solution for
high performance computing using PC-based cluster. Parallel computing and cluster environments: PVM, MPI,
OpenMP, CONDOR, and PBS Several researches on scheduling, fault tolerance and
single system image. Typical research topics are: data-intensive computing,
failure-aware workflow scheduling. Some open-source cluster middlewares: BKlusware,
BKFaultTolerance, BKOSSIC (Bach Khoa Open Single System Image Cluster) for cluster community in Vietnam
14
Prior experience in HPC/Grid Middleware and Applications (2)
Grid Computing Grid environments: Globus Toolkit and G-Lite. Typical research topics are: grid scheduler,
agent-based approaches for grid computing, semantic grid resource specification.
An open-source Grid middleware, called BKGrid, will be used in the National VN-Grid research project (2007-2009).

institutions in Vietnam.
21
Indication of Intentions
We strongly believe that joining PRAGMA would give us a precious opportunity for: Receiving the state-of-the-art grid technology A much better computational environment for
experimenting and conducting grid applications What can we contribute to promoting life science HPC
and GC communities Participation to development of grid applications in life
science for Vietnam and the region Sharing knowledge and experiments on deploying grid
technologies in related areas Computing resource: Supercomputer from C-DAC (128
Processors, 2TFlops, 256 GB RAM, 36TB HDD).
