ESGF2: Earth System Grid Federation 2

This open-source effort provides a robust, distributed data and computation platform, enabling worldwide access to petascale

petascale

Supercomputing capable of performing at least 1 FLOPS (floating-point operations per second) or storage systems capable of storing at least 1 petabyte. A petabyte is equal to one quadrillion (one thousand trillion) bytes, or 1,000 TB.
