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.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or projects:

    The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.
    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)

    One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
