INFN Grid - Software Development Projects

Software Development Projects

This is a list of the main software components developed within the INFN Grid project (in alphabetical order):

• CEMon. This service is responsible for providing information coming from the Computing Element (CE).
• CONStanza. The project aims at developing a Replica Consistency Service that maintains consistency of writable replicated data and is general enough to cater for the requirements of most applications and middleware services in a Grid environment.
• CREAM. The Computing Resource Execution And Management Service is a simple, lightweight service for job management operation at the Computing Element (CE) level.
• DGAS. The DGAS accounting service accumulates information about the usage of Grid resources by the users and by groups of users, including Virtual Organizations as groups of users.
• GLUE Schema. This schema is an abstract modeling for Grid resources and mapping to concrete schemes that can be used in Grid Information Services.
• genius. A Grid portal.
• GILDA. Grid INFN Laboratory for Dissemination Activities.
• G-PBox. A gLite component aiming to solve the tasks of policy management in a production Grid environment.
• Grid2Win. This project aims at creating a gLite User Interface (UI) and a gLite Computing Element (CE) running on Microsoft Windows.
• GriDICE. This is a distributed monitoring tool designed for Grid systems. It promotes the adoption of de facto standard Grid Information Service interfaces, protocols and data models.
• StoRM. A storage resource manager for disk based storage systems.
• VOMS. Virtual Organization Membership Service.
• WMS. The Workload Management System comprises a set of Grid middleware components responsible for the distribution and management of tasks across Grid resources, in such a way that applications are conveniently, efficiently and effectively executed.
