Research on DAS-2 at Utrecht University

• HPC education
• HPC Computational Frameworks. Collaboration with
  • The CACTUS group
  • Hypercode (an NSF initiative about a grid-enabled CCA/CACTUS-like framework)
• Distributed coupled oceanmodels (collaboration with Instituut voor Marien en Atmosferisch onderzoek in Utrecht)
• The NWO Computational Science program "Rapid Changes in Complex Flows".
• Demos during the SC2002 (Denver) and SC2003 (Phoenix) conferences: Grid-enabled oceanmodels on DAS2.
