16-26 June 2008, Catania (Italy) First South Africa Grid Training in Catania Summary and Conclusions GILDA is a virtual laboratory for dissemination of grid computing: – It is a “de facto” standard t-Infrastructure adopted both by EGEE and many EU-FP6 projects (EELA, EUCHINAGRID, EUMEDGRID, EUINDIAGRID, ICEAGE, etc.) – It is a complete suite of grid elements (test-bed, CA, VO, monitoring system, web portal, user interfaces, support system) and applications fully dedicated to dissemination purposes and pre-porting of new applications to EGEE Infrastructure – GILDA runs latest production version of the gLite middleware to make the transition from the t-Infrastructure to the e-Infrastructure easy and transparent
