The NorduGrid production Grid infrastructure, status and plans
نویسندگان
چکیده
NorduGrid offers reliable Grid services for academic users over an increasing set of computing & storage resources spanning through the Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A small group of scientists has already been using the NorduGrid as their daily computing utility. In the near future we expect a rapid growth both in the number of active users and available resources thanks to the recently launched Nordic Grid projects. In this paper we report on the present status and short term plans of the Nordic Grid infrastructure and describe the available and foreseen resources, Grid services and our forming user base.

Framework for Querying Distributed Objects Managed by a Grid Infrastructure
Queries over scientific data often imply expensive analyses of data requiring a lot of computational resources available in Grids. We are developing a customizable query processor built on top of an established Grid infrastructure, the NorduGrid middleware, and have implemented a framework for managing long running queries in Grid environment. With the framework the user does not specify the de...

The aim of the NorduGrid project is to build and operate a production Grid infrastructure in Scandinavia and Finland. The innovative middleware solutions allowed to set up a working testbed, which connects dynamic set of computing resources by providing a uniform access to them. The resources range from small test clusters of academic institutions to large farms of various supercomputer centers...
متن کاملSwiss ATLAS grid computing in preparation for the LHC collision data
Computing for ATLAS in Switzerland has two Tier-3 sites with several years of experience, owned by Universities of Berne and Geneva. They have been used for ATLAS Monte Carlo production, centrally controlled via the NorduGrid, since 2005. The Tier-3 sites are under continuous development. In case of Geneva the proximity of CERN leads to additional use cases, related to commissioning of the expe...
متن کاملBuilding a Production Grid in Scandinavia
Academic researchers in the Nordic countries participate in many common projects that process large amounts of data. To function effectively, such collaborations need a grid computing infrastructure that works across a wide area and uses distributed resources efficiently. Initial evaluations of existing grid solutions, however, showed that they failed to meet this requirement. The Globus Toolki...
