The first scientific results from the Estonian Grid

Abstract

We present first scientific results, technical details and recent developments in the Estonian Grid. Ideas and concepts behind Grid technology are described. We mention some most crucial parts of a Grid system, as well as some unique possibilities in the Estonian situation. Scientific applications currently running on Estonian Grid are listed. We discuss the first scientific computations and results the Estonian Grid. The computations show that the middleware is well chosen and the Estonian Grid has remarkable stability and scalability. The authors present the collected results and experiences of the development of the Estonian Grid and add some ideas of the near future of the Estonian Grid.
