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
The Grid Information System provides detailed information about grid services. The Grid Information System system has a hierarchical structure of three levels. The fundamental building block used in this hierarchy is the Berkley Database Information Index (BDII). Although the BDII has additional complexity, it can be visualized as an LDAP
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
The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) middleware integrates computing resources (usually, computing clusters managed by a batch system or standalone workstations) and storage facilities, making them available via a secure common Grid layer. In the past this middleware was called NorduGrid middleware, since it is being developed by the NorduGrid Collaboration. This software solution uses Grid technologies to enable sharing and federation of computing and storage resources distributed across different administrative and applica
ETICS stands for "eInfrastructure for Testing, Integration and Configuration of Software". ETICS is both a software product and a software service to help software developers, managers and users to better manage complexity and improve the quality of their software. Our service allows you to fully automate the way your software is built and tested. ETICS provides software professionals with an "out-of-the-box" build and test system, powered with a build and test product repository. The software is multi-platform and open s
