The European Middleware Initiative Software Distribution (EMI)
The European Middleware Initiative (EMI) distribution is a software platform for high performance distributed computing. It is at the core of grid middleware distributions used by scientific research communities and distributed computing infrastructures all over the world including WLCG, the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, which supports, for example, the search for the Higgs boson and new types of matter searches of the physicists at LHC, together with other large scientific challenges in astronomy, biology, computational chemistry and other sciences. EMI is currently managed by the EMI project, a close collaboration among well-established grid middleware providers and other specialized software providers, in more than 20 research and academic Institutes in Europe and Asia.
