"SKIF-GRID" - A Program of the Belarusian-Russian Union State

The contemporary trend analysis in high performance computation shows that the development of new tools and technologies in these fields will be in the progress all over the word.

Within last several years the most perspective direction to organize the high performance computation is GRID-technologies.

The promotion of this direction is the part of joint propositions of NASB and Federal Agency of Science and Innovations of Russian Federation “The development and use of hard and software in GRID-technologies and advanced supercomputer systems SKIF in 2007-2010 (SKIF-GRID)”.

The importance of “SKIF-GRID” program is determined by necessity of high performance computation technologies implementation, its adaptation to technological and organizing structure of the states, the problems of information security in some special applications.

Also the importance of the program is based upon the will to attain a world level in high performance computation area to develop the supercomputers of high quality.
