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.

SAM is a grid monitoring and reporting system for large-scale production grids.
It builds on top of open-source components such as
The LCG File catalogue (LFC) offers a hierarchical view of files to users, with a UNIX-like client interface. The LFC catalogue provides:
The Disk Pool Manager (DPM) is a lightweight storage solution for grid sites. It offers a simple way to create a disk-based grid storage element and supports both standard (HTTP/S, NFS 4.1/pNFS) and grid specific protocols (SRM, gridFTP, XROOTD, RFIO) for file management and access.
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
