  2. 0. The XSEDE Global Federated File System (GFFS/GFFS.eu) - Breaking Down Barriers to Secure Resource Sharing
    Prof. Andrew Grimshaw (University of Virginia)
    4/15/14, 9:30 AM
    The GFFS offers scientists a simplified means through which they can interact with and share resources. Currently, many scientists struggle to exploit distributed infrastructures because they are complex, unreliable, and require the use of unfamiliar tools. For many scientists, such obstacles interfere with their research; for others, these obstacles render their research impossible. It...
