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.

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.
GFAL2 is a framework for Grid and Cloud file access, file transfer and file management.
The GFAL 2.0 library :
The GFAL 2.0 library (gfal2-core) provides a unified and protocol-generic API for file access, file transfer and file management operations in Grid and Cloud environments. GFAL 2.0 allows to build applications using the Grid technologies ( file, GridFTP, RFIO, Dcap, SRM, LFC, Http/Dav, xrootd ) in a transparent manner.
The GFAL 2.0 transfer library:
The GFAL 2.0 transfer library (gfal2-transfer) is an addit
