Access Grid Conference Facility at Boston University

Welcome

The Access Grid Conference Facility at Boston University is one of many nodes on the Access Grid, a suite of hardware, software, and tools to facilitate collaboration over the Internet. At the Access Grid Conference Facility, you can participate in lectures, seminars, tutorials, and conferences on topics related to high-performance computing.

Boston University is a pioneer in the Access Grid community, having built our first AG node in the summer of 1999. In addition, members of the SCV staff are involved in AG development, documentation, events planning, consulting, and training on an international level.
