Development Projects: Computer Science

Here we list some of the research projects taking place which are either focused on developing and enhancing the Cactus Code, or are using Cactus as an application for the development of external tools leading indirectly to improvements to code enhancements.

Cactus Team
The Cactus Team, based at the Albert Einstein Institute in Germany, is developing Cactus infrastructure in coordination with the projects listed here.

Gigabit Project
The Gigabit Project in Germany is focused on developing remote and distributed visualization for applications.

Distributed Simulations Project
Researchers at the Albert Einstein Institute, along with colleagues from Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, are using Cactus for performing distributed simulations across heterogeneous machines.

Astrophysics Simulation Collaboratory
The Astrophysics Simulation Collaboratory (ASC) in the USA is developing collaboration tools, such as web portals, and code infrastructure such as AMR for large scale astrophysics simulations.

EGrid Applications and Testbeds Working Group
The European Grid Forum (E-Grid) is using Cactus as an application for developing Europe-wide capabilities for accessible and routine distributed computing.

Grid Adaptive Development Systems
The Grid Adaptive Development Systems project in the USA is building protocols and capabilities for using the newly emerging global "Grid".
