About NG & NGPP
The National Grid
initiative in Singapore has as its vision the realization of "a Singapore where computer resources can be connected together
via a high-speed network such that these resources can be shared
in a secure, reliable & efficient manner by authenticated users
for education, commercial, entertainment, R&D, national security & other
purposes so as to improve the economic and technological competitiveness
of Singapore and also the quality of life in Singapore."
The
National Grid Pilot Platform (NGPP) is the first phase of
Singapore’s
cyberinfrastructure. This high speed network connecting technical
computing resources has been conceived in response for a pragmatic
approach to develop a cyber-infrastructure
in Singapore. The NGPP aims to support Grid Computing for academia,
research and industry.
