BalticGrid Infrastructure in Numbers
29 sites (more than 15 certified)
~ 7000 CPU cores
~110000 GB storage
4 local active Virtual Organisations
(balticgrid, litgrid, gamess, biit)
2 EGEE VOs (cms, lhcb)
Sites are running gLite

Network Status
All sites are connected
using NRENs and
GÉANT2 backbone
Baltic states link to
Scandinavia and
Poland through 10
Gbs connections
1Gbps links are
established to all sites

National GRID Initiative
LitGrid infrastructure is deeply related to the grid
infrastructures of Baltic States (BalticGrid project) and of
EGEE (European Grid for Enabling the E-science) - on the
level of middleware and some applications
The project BalticGrid-II will involve scientists of Lithuania
even more deeply into European Research Area
to encourage Lithuanian scientists to use grid technologies
and to participate in their development
Investment program financed by the Ministry of Science and
Education of LR

Within the framework of the BalticGrid project the Stellar
Spectroscopy group of the Institute of Theoretical Physics
and Astronomy of Vilnius university has upgraded and
gridified a program package for the synthetic spectra
modeling and is using it for:
Chemical analysis of Galactic Red clump stars
Chemical analysis of open clusters in the Galactic disk
Investigation of chemical evolution of the Galactic thick
disk
Chemical analysis of stars in neighboring galaxies
Analysis of chromospherically active stars
