100. The annual SuperComputing conference runs competitions involving various HPC computing challenges. In SC2002, the GGTC infrastructure was built, using high-speed networks and their international connections. This won two of the competition’s three prizes: the most geographically distributed project and the most heterogeneous applications. The participants in the competition continued working together intermittently after SC2002 once they had achieved the objectives of the alliance, but GGTC demonstrated the viability of a broader project: the world wide grid.
