Description

We present the AMGA (ARDA Metadata Grid Application) metadata catalog, which is a part of the gLite middleware. AMGA provides a very lightweight metadata service as well as basic database access functionality on the Grid. Following a brief overview of the AMGA design, functionality, implementation and security features, we will show performance comparisons of AMGA with direct database access as well as with other Grid catalog services. Finally the replication features of AMGA are presented and a comparison with proprietary database replication solutions is shown. A series of examples of usage from HEP and other communities is also presented.
