The NorduGrid: Building a Production Grid in Scandinavia
Author
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.
