About us

The GridCafé explains grid computing in a simple and stimulating fashion.

It does not attempt to provide an exhaustive review of grid technology. Nor can it claim a completely unbiased point of view - it was originally developed at CERN, the world's largest high-energy physics laboratory and a leader in grid development.

Nevertheless, it is the ambition of GridCafé to provide a broad and balanced introduction to grid technology. The goal is to inform, rather than to proselytise, and so critical viewpoints are included alongside optimistic scenarios.

For GridCafé to continue to improve, we need your help, advice, feedback and encouragement: please do not hesitate to contact us.
