- GRID: Multi-year experience in the creation of computing models based on distributed infrastructure using the glite middleware. Most of the experience was gained in porting to the IGI/EGI infrastructures applications in the HEP and COMPCHEM domains, but we have experience also on bioinformatics applications for NGS and biodiversity. We are acquiring experience on porting meteorological models to the Grid environment exploiting the improved support to parallel jobs we reached in our NGI in last few years.

- GRID/HPC: experience acquired in running small and medium sized HPC jobs in the Grid infrastructure. In collaboration with COMPCHEM we are acquiring experience in building computing models which address mixed HTC/HPC workflows distributed to different infrastructure. (i.e. EGI/PRACE or EGI/XSEDE)
- Virtualizazion/Cloud: we have know-how and experience related to the WNoDeS framework, used to run scientific workloads through virtualization technologies in medium to large scale data centers. In the past few years, we have also acquired significant know-how and experience with OpenStack, both in scientific environments and in national initiaties involving SMEs and targeting cloud-based solutions and services for Public Administrations.
- APPLICATIONS: Expertise and offer of griddified important applications in several domains: (some of them available through the IGI Portal): CMMST : Venus, Crystal, QuantumEspresso, NAMD, Gaussian09 EARTH SCIENCE MODELLING: WRF, NEMO Gemomics: BLAST CFD: ANSYS, OPENFOAM HEP: FLUKA We are acquiring experience in handling licensed application in distributed systems (i.e. ANSYS).
