1. EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 Enabling Grids for E-sciencE www.eu-egee.org EGEE Tutorial Getting started with GILDA

2. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 2 Scope We are using the GILDA testbed –The production EGEE grid looks like this! –Current EGEE production middleware –GILDA is one VO on EGEE  resources for training and prototyping The practical exercises are to illustrate “how” –Not using typical jobs for running on a grid!! –But to show how grid services are used, jobs are submitted, output retrieved,… We will use the Command-Line Interfaces on a “User Interface” (UI) machine –“UI” is your interface to the GILDA Grid  Where your digital credentials are held  Client tools are already installed

3. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 3 GILDA is “t-Infrastructure” Why “t-infrastructure”? –Training is necessary! –e-Infrastructure for production –t-Infrastructure for training Need dedicated resources for tutorials; limit the vulnerability of production systems –use training grid –have training CA –able to change middleware to prepare participants for future releases on production system –need safe resources for installation training –easy entry point for new communities

4. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 4 The GILDA t-Infrastructure https://gilda.ct.infn.it 19 sites in 3 continents > 3000 certificates issued, >15% renewed at least once > 100 tutorials and demos perfor- med in 23 months > 1,000,000 hits (> 50,000 unique visits) on (of) the web site from 10’s of different countries > 0.6 TB of training material downloaded from the web site (Sep. 2006)

5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 5 For Practicals in this event Certificates and private keys from GILDA CA –Tutors registered the certificates at GILDA VO Certificates and keys are available on the GILDA user interface machine: glite-tutor.ct.infn.it

6. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 6 Trust and use of GILDA GILDA is provided by some 20 organisations for training events. You usually sign a commitment before using a grid - to make appropriate use of the resources that other organisations have opened to you Trust is the basis of Grid computing.
