About GILDA
GILDA (Grid INFN Laboratory for Dissemination Activities) was developed as part of the Italian INFN Grid project and the EGEE project.
GILDA consists of the following elements:
- The GILDA testbed is a series of sites and services (Resource Broker, Information Index, Replica Location Server, Monitoring Tool, Computing Elements and Storage Elements) spread across Italy and the rest of the world on which the lastest version of both the INFN Grid middle-ware (which is fully compatible with the LCG middleware) and the gLite middle-ware are installed.
- The Grid Demonstrator is a customised version of the full GENIUS web portal, jointly developed by INFN and NICE. Anyone can submit a pre-defined set of applications to the Grid Demonstrator. It is also possible to view the GILDA tutorials.
- The GILDA Certification Authority (CA) is a fully functional Certification Authority which issues 14 days X.509 certificates to anybody wanting to experience Grid computing on the GILDA testbed. The grid can be used only if the user has a personal digital certificate issued by a CA.
- The GILDA Virtual Organisation (VO) gathers all the people wanting to experience Grid computing on the Gilda testbed. In order to subscribe to the GILDA VO users have to have a valid GILDA certificate in their web browser. Just accept the certificate when asked.
- The Grid Tutor is based on the full version of the GENIUS web portal.
- The monitoring system is a versatile monitoring system completely based on GridICE, the Grid monitoring tool developed by INFN. Visit GridICE for more information.
If, using GILDA, you think the Grid could be a solution for your computational and data problems, please see How to Join EGEE.
