Meeting PRAGMA Objectives

• Routine use of PRAGMA resources to run
• bioscience applications e.g.
• EOL operation involving SDSC/BII/TITECH
• Osaka University BioGrid e.g. linking to Inst
  of
• Protein Research
• GridBlast running routinely as part of the
• Singapore Biomedical Compute Resource (SBCR)
