Description

Today introduces the National Grid Service, with an emphasis on practicals.

Many concepts will already have been introduced on day 1 of this event, and so today\'s focus is therefore strongly upon giving experience of using the NGS middleware.

The day will include:
- authorisation and authentication on the NGS (GSI, proxy certificates, MyProxy)
- computation services (Globus)
- data services (SRB and OGSA-DAI)
- case studies

This session is derived from the 2-day course, "Induction to Grid Computing and the National Grid Service". Material from the Induction course can be found at: http://www.nesc.ac.uk/action/esi/contribution.cfm?Title=633

    myGrid is a suite of middleware components designed to support in silico experiments in biology. In the Life Sciences domain in silico experiments generally involve accessing disparate and heterogeneous biological data and analysis tools. Traditional approaches have involved ‘cutting and pasting’ or writing bespoke programmes to run over local copies of resources. The myGrid workbench,...

  7. 13. An Overview of the RealityGrid Project
    John Brooke (ESNW University of Manchester)
    21/03/2006, 16:00
    The focus of the RealityGrid project is the use of the Grid to facilitate the simulation of condensed-matter systems such as material surfaces, miscible fluids and macro-molecules. The scientists doing such work typically have existing codes (written in a variety of languages) for doing the calculations and require access to powerful, parallel computing resources. The RealityGrid project...
