The (European Grid Infrastructure ) (EGI) is a series of efforts to provide access to high-throughput computing resources across Europe using grid computing techniques. The EGI links centres in different European countries to support international research in many scientific disciplines. Following a series of research projects such as DataGrid and Enabling Grids for E-sciencE, the EGI.eu organization was formed in 2010 to sustain the services of the EGI. ==Purpose== Science has become increasingly based on open collaboration between researchers across the world. It uses high-capacity computing to model complex systems and to process experimental results. In the early 21st century, Grid computing became popular for scientific disciplines such as high-energy physics, bioinformatics to share and combine the power of computers and sophisticated, often unique, scientific instruments in a process known as e-Science.〔 In addition to their scientific value, on 30 May 2008 The EU Competitiveness Council promoted "the essential role of e-infrastructures as an integrating mechanism between Member States, regions as well as different scientific disciplines, also contributing to overcoming digital divides."〔(European Competitiveness Council, Conclusions on European Research Infrastructures and their regional dimension, Brussels, 3 June 2008 )〕 EGI is partially supported by the (EGI-InSPIRE ) EC project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Grid Infrastructure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
