Welcome to the FWGrid Project.
The Fast Wired and Wireless Grid Project (FWGrid), in the Department of Computer Science &
Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, explores
a future of plentiful compute, storage, and communication resources,
spanning both wired and wireless networks at gigabit speeds. These
capabilities enable research in innovative and radically new applications
systems, and system architectures. FWGrid includes: high capability
mobile image/video capture and display devices (to interact with
the world), high bandwidth wireless networks 100 - 1000 Mbps (to tightly
couple mobile elements to high capability resources),
rich wired networks of 10-100 Gbps (to move and aggregate computation
and data without limit), and distributed clusters with large compute
(teraflops) and data (10's of terabytes) manipulation capabilities (to
power the infostructure). These resources will be made available
to as elements of a "grid" which allows them to be dynamically
collected, robustly composed, and shared securely across users.
In August 2003, we are just beginning, and the project is anticipated
to run thru July 2008.
The FWGrid project builds on the foundation provided by the
Activeweb Project.
