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:

    “On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
    —Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    “But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
