What is CISS?

0

CISS is the working name of the project and it stands for Canadian Internetworked Scientific Supercomputer. It is pronounced the same way as “kiss”. We reserve the right to change the name or meaning as soon as we think of something better. CISS is an attempt to build the software and social infrastructure for a Canada-wide metacomputer. We do not have any current plans to go beyond Canada. The (eventually, open source) software for CISS is developed as part of the academic Trellis Project in the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta.
