This project was partly funded by QPSF - Queensland Parallel Supercomputing Foundation. At present (17-Dec-2002), there are working access grids at QUT and JCU that have been deployed with the financial assistance of QPSF. Similar financial assistance is being provided by QPSF to deploy access grids at UQ, GU, USQ, and CQU during 2002/2003. Further information about the QPSF Access Grid Project can be obtained by following this link.
