<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm Jesus Iglesias, a recently graduated
Telecommunications engineer by a spanish university,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a few weeks time I'm starting a doctoral thesis
which topic is the following: "Study of reneweable energies and its
relationships with meteorolgy variables based on a distritibuted computer system
(grid computing style)"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The basic idea is to use a cluster (beowulf style)
in a certain city to process simultaneously data coming from an energy station
and a meteorolgy station, and then repeat this study with another cluster in
another different city. In the end, the objective is to connect these computer
clusters (making a grid this way) so as to be able to do this study globally
(reaching a number of differents cities in Spain).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a beginner in everything related to clusters and
grid computing I'll be asking for help at this list quite often from now
onwards. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My first question is an obvious one, do you
guys think this idea for the distributed computing system is a good
one taking into account the scientific study that I'm planning to
do?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks everyone there in advance,</FONT></DIV>
