SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap
FTS is the service responsible for distributing the majority of LHC data across the WLCG infrastructure. It is a low level data movement service, responsible for moving sets of files from one site to another while allowing participating sites to control the network resource usage. This control includes the enforcement of site and usage policies like fair-share mechanisms on dedicated network links.
YAIM (YAIM Ain't an Installation Manager) is, as the name suggests, a way of configuring Grid Services. The aim of YAIM is to provide a simple installation and configuration method that can be used to set up a simple Grid Site but can be easily adapted and extended to meet the need of larger sites. To ensure that local administrators can adapt YAIM, it has been implemented as a set of bash scripts. To support th
The Einstein Toolkit Consortium is developing and supporting open software for relativistic astrophy sics. Its aim is to provide the core computational tools that can enable new science, broaden our co mmunity, facilitate interdisciplinary research and take advantage of petascale computers and advance d cyberinfrastructure. The Einstein Toolkit currently consists of an open set of over 100 modules fo r the Cactus framework, primarily for computational relativity along with associated tools for simul ation management and visualization. The toolkit includes solvers for vacuum spac
Cactus is an open source problem solving environment designed for scientists and engineers. Its modular structure easily enables parallel computation across different architectures and collaborative code development between different groups. Cactus originated in the academic research community, where it was developed and used over many years by a large international collaboration of physicists and computational scientists. The name Cactus comes from the design of a central core ("flesh") which connects to application modules ("thorns") through an extensible interface. Thorns can implement c
GriF is a SOA Grid Framework aimed at running on the EGI Grid multi-purpose scientific applications. The SOA-based organization of GriF consists of two JAVA servers (YR and YP) and a JAVA client (YC). The first server YR (Yet a Registry) is based on the standard UDDI (Universal Description, Definition, and Integration) protocol. Users inspect YR to the end of finding the appropriate YPs. The second server YP (Yet a Provider) makes use of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) which is the XML-based messaging format established as transmission framework for inter-service communication via HTT
