REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
This event is to support those intending to write or port applications to run using gLite 3.0 middleware.
The course is in two main sessions. In the first the gLite functionality for authorisation and workload management is described in a more detailed manner than occurs during induction courses. In the second session after lunch approaches that build on the basic gLite services are explored.
Prerequisite: Participants will know the concepts of Grid computing and be familiar with the goals and achievements of the EGEE project. They will be familiar with simple job submission (with current or previous middleware) and be familiar with file management and the use of proxy certificates. Competence in use of Linux will be needed to edit files and command-lines.
Registration for this event is required:
The URL is http://www.nesc.ac.uk/action/registration/egee/index.cfm?id=707
Logistics: The course will be held in building 593 (Training Centre) at CERN. There are two hostels on the CERN site – buildings 38 and 39. There is a searchable site map at http://building.web.cern.ch/building/. The hostel booking page is http://housing-service.web.cern.ch/housing-service/hostelwelc.html . To gain entry to the CERN site you will need to show your passport and collect a pass from reception – these will be arranged for registered course participants.
In order to use a laptop to connect to the network, you will need to pre-register it at CERN. For instructions on how to do this look at the page: http://it-div.web.cern.ch/it-div/gencomputing/VisitorPortables.asp . You will need to know the MAC address of your computer to do this – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address for instructions on how to find this.
NOTE: YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR COMPUTER IN ADVANCE OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE PRACTICALS.
You will only need ssh on your machine to access GILDA to run the exercises.
