Training and Support
GRIDS maintains a
federated Bugzilla
system with which users may submit and track technical support
issues. Users may report bugs via that system or by sending
mail to nmi-support@nsf-middleware.org.
GRIDS Center Members Present Introductory Tutorial on Grid
Computing at SC05
GRIDS Center members presented
a one-day tutorial, Hands-On: Introduction to Grid Computing, geared toward
novice Grid users at SC'05. The tutorial moves the new Grid user through a guided series
of activities introducing concepts such as the Globus toolkit, Grid security
certificates, reliable file transfer, simple job management, and
workflow management. It introduces essential skills needed to
conduct and support use of the Grid computing environment. The
tutorial alternates between presentations and hands-on labs,
which users connect to hosts at NCSA to perform various
grid-related tasks.
2005 GRIDS Center Community Workshop
This important workshop was held June 23-24, 2005 in Chicago, Illinois. Designed
especially for PIs, project leaders and technical staff of TeraGrid, NEESgrid, BIRN,
VDT, LEAD, SEEK, GEON, NPACKAGE, OGCE and other e-Science
projects, the workshop helps to facilitate cross-discipline
interactions involving Grid middleware. Many groups have
overlapping or very similar middleware needs, and the GRIDS
leadership helps to identify targets of opportunity
that maximize benefits for the greater scientific community
through coordinated effort and reduced duplication.
Both days were highly interactive, with plenary discussions and
extended workshops on critical issues such as security,
data management, application development and software management.
GlobusWORLD
The GRIDS Center is co-sponsor of the annual
GlobusWORLD conference,
which was held at Boston, February 7-11, 2005. A wealth of presentation materials from GlobusWORLD 2005
is posted in the
conference's
program section.
