Computational Chemistry Grid

Introduction
The Computational Chemistry Grid (CCG) is a virtual organization that provides access to high performance computing resources for computational chemists through a desktop client. The grid integrates a desktop environment into an infrastructure for a specific community of users, such as computational chemists with both small and large scale needs and experimental chemists who occasionally need simulation capabilities to verify experimental results.

Initial chemistry software supported
- Gaussian 03
- GAMESS
- MolPro
- NWChem

Why the Computational Chemistry Grid?

• Provides a user-friendly infrastructure to a diverse community of chemistry researchers
• lowers barrier to use of significant computational resources for entire community
• Large center job policies are not amenable to chemistry application throughput
• computational chemistry applications typically run on relatively few processors for extended periods
• Leverages existing and evolving technologies
• GridChem, Condor, GridFTP, GSI
• Provides a common interface and easy
  transition between commonly used CCCs.
  • Gaussian 98/03, GAMESS, MolPro
  • Applications can be integrated
