DIstributed Computing Environments (DICE) Team
We are a group of computer scientists and IT experts from the
Department of Computer Science AGH
and ACC Cyfronet AGH. We are a curiosity- and research-driven team,
specializing in large-scale distributed computing, HPC, Web and Cloud technologies. We develop new methods,
tools and environments and we apply these solutions in e-Science, healthcare and industrial domains.
The ViroLab Project developed a virtual laboratory for research in the area of infectious diseases. In particular, it targeted the drug resistance problem in HIV (Human Immunodefficiency Virus) anti-viral therapy, using genetic information and computer modeling. GridSpace technology is used here as the main building block of the virtual laboratory, providing the core runtime, services and tools for programmers, computational scientists and virologists, enabling them to address important issues in modern treatment of infectious diseases through collaborative in-silico research.

This movie highlights the features of the Virtual Laboratory based on the GridSpace technology, which was developed in ViroLab project and is further extended in PL-Grid.
