lecture EGEE tutorial, Tokyo
Date/Time: from Thursday, 25 August 2005 (09:00) to Friday, 26 August 2005 (17:30) (Europe/Zurich)
Location: NAREGI Conference Room
Chairperson: Mike Mineter
Description:
The Tokyo EGEE tutorial event aims at not only providing in-depth lectures on the EGEE gLite middleware but also  offering hands-on practical exercises using gLite on GILDA to those who are interested in application development on the EGEE infrastructure. 

In addition, the event provides a good opportunity for further exchanges between the NAREGI and EGEE projects, towards  future collaboration and interoperability.

The tutorial will be held in the NAREGI Conference Room, http://www.naregi.org/access/index_e.html

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Participants are asked to bring a laptop to the tutorial.  Please refer to http://egee-na4.ct.infn.it/ct_may_24/requirements.php 
for information about software required for the practicals.

2. In a practical on day 2 participants will be able to upload their own code to run on the GILDA grid.  These programs should require no more than 10 minutes CPU time, so that results can be seen during the practical.

Introduction to EGEE (1h0')   transparencies powerpoint file pdf file   Fabrizio Gagliardi (CERN)  
The Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) project is funded by the European Commission.  It is developing an international, production quality, grid infrastructure.

This talk gives a brief introduction to grid computing.  It then gives an overview of the EGEE project summarising its activities and status; its operations infrastructure and its applications communities.

The GILDA t-Infrastructure and the GENIUS portal (45')   transparencies powerpoint file pdf file   Roberto Barbera (Univ. Catania and INFN)  
"t-Infrastructure" is specialised e-Infrastructure adapted to and provided for training and education.  The GILDA grid runs a combination of both LCG2 and gLite middleware.  In practicals in this tutorial we will be using the GENIUS portal and the command line interfaces to the gLite middleware.
