EMI

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,

UNICORE Forum

UNICORE Forum e.V. (UNICORE Forum)

The UNICORE Forum e.V. was founded in December 1999 by developers, leading European HPC centres, and supporting hardware vendors as a non-profit association to foster the distribution and use of UNICORE, to publish and maintain the specifications, to coordinate further development, certify implementations and extensions, and to support workshops.

Objectives of the UNICORE Forum e.V.
Seamless access: The UNICORE Forum is an open, non-profit association which promotes the development and distribution of the UNICORE Grid system. Membership is open to users and developers of Grid software as well as to hardware vendors.
UNICORE - The Seamless Grid Solution: UNICORE makes seamless Grid computing a reality: its user-friendly interface allows easy and uniform access to distributed computing resources, and provides support for running important scientific and engineering applications. Scientists and engineers can harness the power of today's supercomputers without having to become experts in the access and security policies at different centers.
The UNICORE Forum: To foster the distribution and use of the UNICORE system, the developers, leading European HPC Centers and supporting hardware vendors have founded the UNICORE Forum as a non-profit association. The Forum promotes development, use, and distribution of UNICORE through the following activities:
Promote UNICORE: To promote the use of UNICORE in Grid application and development projects and amongst end-users, the UNICORE Forum organizes workshops, supports presentations at conferences, and provides a discussion forum for UNICORE users and developers.
Publish UNICORE specifications: The UNICORE Forum publishes and maintains the specifications of the UNICORE software layers and of the protocols between them.
Coordinate the further development of UNICORE: As the UNICORE system is used and further developed by an increasing number of Grid projects, new functional requirements emerge and extensions to the UNICORE specifications will be necessary. The UNICORE Forum will coordinate this process and will act as clearing house.
Certify UNICORE implementations and extensions: The UNICORE specifications are open and anyone is welcome to implement all or part of the UNICORE components, and to develop extensions to the reference implementation. The UNICORE Forum offers to certify the functionality of such implementations and extensions according to the published UNICORE specifications.

mpi-start

mpi-start

mpi-start is a set of scripts to close the gap between the workload management system of a Grid insfrastructure and the configuration of the nodes on which MPI applications are run. The package is used to help the user start MPI applications on heterogeneous Grid sites.

STFC

Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)

The Science and Technology Facilities Council is keeping the UK at the forefront of international science and tackling some of the most significant challenges facing society such as meeting our future energy needs, monitoring and understanding climate change, and global security.   The Council has a broad science portfolio and works with the academic and industrial communities to share its expertise in materials science, space and ground-based astronomy technologies, laser science, microelectronics, wafer scale manufacturing, particle and nuclear physics, alternative energy production,

Indico

Integrated Digital Conference (Indico)

Indico is an event management web application. Its initial goal was to provide conference organizers with a set of tools that could help them through the entire conference life cycle. This initial feature set was extended to other events (such as meetings and lectures), and has since grown to include other features such as a full-fledged Room Booking module. Over the last years, Indico also became CERN’s official hub for collaborative tools, providing a common user interface for videoconferencing (MCU-based H232, Vidyo, EVO), chat and webcasting/recording systems. As the proje

IGI

Italian Grid Infrastructure (IGI)

 

 

The Italian Grid Initiative (IGI) is a Joint Research Unit supported by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). IGI provides the Italian Grid Infrastructure. It guarantees and supports common services for e-research, common middleware releases, general guide lines for policies and standards to be internationally adopted for secure interoperability among all existing grid infrastructures.

The Italian Grid Infrastructures copes with t

CSIC

Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)

The Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas - CSIC) is the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain. Its main objective is to develop and promote research that will help bring about scientific and technological progress, and it is prepared to collaborate with Spanish and foreign entities in order to achieve this aim.

CSIC plays an important role in scientific and technological policy, since it encompasses an area that takes in everything from basic research to the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector. Its

NorduGrid

NorduGrid Collaboration (NorduGrid)

The NorduGrid Collaboration coordinates the development of Advance Resource Connector (ARC) - an open source Grid middleware. The Collaboration goals are:

  • Develop and support the ARC middleware.
  • Coordinate contributions to the ARC code.
  • Define strategical directions for development of the ARC middleware following latest tendencies in the Grid technologies.
  • Maintain minimal infrastructure necessary for open source code development.
  • Promote ARC middleware solutions in such areas as Grid development, deployment and usage.
  • Contribute to development of open standards in Grid and related areas.

TU Dresden

Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden)

The Technische Universität Dresden has its roots in the Royal Saxon Technical School that was founded in 1828. Today it is a university that unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities and social sciences, as well as medicine. This wide range of disciplines, which is unique in Germany, brings with it the obligation for the university to promote interdisciplinarity and to contribute to the integration of science and society.

The Technische Universität Dresden aims to establish a balance between professional and personal responsibilities and wishes to ensure equal
