Abstract
We report on user experiences gathered with quantum nuclear scattering calculations on a H2O based metacomputing system and on the BEgrid, the Belgian EGEE Grid infrastructure. We compare quantifiable aspects such as Grid utilization but also ease-of-use and the experience encountered in porting the application to each of the Grid environments.
Research supported in part by the Ministerie van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, Afdeling Technologie en Innovatie as part of the Vlaamse pilot-gridinfrastructuur project.
