History
Development of UABgrid has gone through several stages since its inception. A brief time-line provides an overview of this history:
- 2003 - Concept for campus grid infrastructure emerges from participation in NMI Testbed
- 2004-2006 - NSF project to explore construction of federated systems environments leads to development of myVocs and openidp.org
- 2007 - Launch of UABgrid Pilot to explore production use of federated systems environment
- 2008 - Testing migration large-scale HPC work flows to the grid; expanding pilot users
- 2009 - Development expands to support key UAB campus initiatives of caBIG and CTSA
