NASA's Information Power Grid (IPG) is a high-performance computing and data grid. Grid users can access widely distributed heterogeneous resources from any location, with IPG middleware adding security, uniformity, and control. Scientists and engineers throughout NASA are eligible for IPG accounts.
Computing and data Grids are emerging as the infrastructure for 21st century science because they are providing a common way of managing distributed computing, data, instrument, and human resources.
