The basic features
MetaCentre manages and coordinates the operation of the National Grid Infrastructure (NGI), which is part of the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI). It provides a distributed computing environment enabling access to computing and data resources for tackling highly demanding computational tasks that exceed the capabilities of individual workstations in the Czech Republic.
Services offered include:
- Grid computing
- HPC clouds
- Platforms such as Hadoop
Access to these resources is granted via application to MetaVO after authentication through the eduID.cz identity federation.
Resource owners can seek user support to onboard their resources into MetaCentre.
