Uniform Interface to Computing Resources
The goal of UNICORE Plus was to develop a grid infrastructure together with a computing portal for engineers and scientists to access supercomputer centers from anywhere on the Internet. This had to be done with strong authentication in a uniform and easy to use way. The differences between platforms was hidden from the user thus creating a seamless interface for accessing supercomputers, compiling and running applications, and transferring input/output data. Research areas in UNICORE Plus was resource modeling, application specific interfaces, data management, job control flow, and metacomputing.
