Globus Technology Workshop

This workshop targets both Grid users and administrators and is divided into two sessions, a lecture and a hands-on session. The lecture will provide a short introduction to Grid computing with Globus and will focus on the Globus Toolkit 5 (GT5) and European developments adapted to it by the IGE project. A special emphasis will be put on the new Globus Online service. During the hands-on session, each participant will configure the following grid services while using a pre-configured virtual machine:


Each participant will work with a pre-configured virtual machine on the Amazon cloud. These virtual machines are integrated with IGE’s testbed. Participants will have the valuable opportunity to evaluate and experience the services provided by IGE during the hands-on session. In summary, the workshop will allow one to learn how to set up a working grid with Globus GT5 from scratch and how to exploit it.
