Summary, in English

The aim of the NorduGrid project is to build and

operate a production Grid infrastructure in Scandinavia and

Finland. The innovative middleware solutions allowed setting up

a working testbed, which connects a dynamic set of computing

resources by providing uniform access to them. The resources

range from small test clusters at academic institutions to large

farms at several supercomputer centers. This paper reviews the

architecture and describes the Grid services, implemented via

the NorduGrid middleware. As an example of a demanding

application, a real use case of a High Energy Physics study is

described.
