[Ct-grid] invitation: opening BiG Grid 'eScience in Industry' (registration has opened!)
by Vrijaldenhoven, Serge 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Philips Research<http://www.research.philips.com/> (eScience Support) together with Gridforum.nl<http://gridforum.nl/> present: BiG Grid Opening at High Tech Campus Eindhoven " e S c i e n c e i n I n d u s t r y " Monday the 1st of December, Philips Research (eScience Support) is organizing a symposium themed 'eScience in Industry'. In multiple scientific fields people are struggling with handling large datasets, secure connections, large simulation times, distributed datasets etc. This asks for a new way of working and the term eScience is used to describe the kind of science that need this new way of working. The talks will show how pharma and biomolecular science have become eScience. Further, 2 speakers from eScience centres located in the United Kingdom will share their ideas on eScience. For more information please visit: http://www.hitech-projects.com/registration/event.html. Or register directly at: http://www.hitech-projects.com/registration/. Registration is free for everyone (but limited!), so make use of this invitation to register early. The symposium is held on the occasion of the opening for BiG Grid (see http://www.biggrid.nl<http://www.biggrid.nl/>) at the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Because around that time part of Big Grid will be physically located here at the Campus and is planned to be fully operational. Gridforum Nederland is the association for everyone in The Netherlands who is interested in or works with gridtechnology - from user to supplier, from scientist to policy maker. The organization offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge, expertise and information on this technology and all possible applications it enables. eScience Support is the new name for the non-generic IT department of Philips Research ICT. It is there specifically for researchers, delivering Scientific and Engineering IT.

[Ct-grid] MPI
by Jeff Templon 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Hi *, Discussion in the TCG now on these two tasks: https://savannah.cern.ch/task/?7945 https://savannah.cern.ch/task/?7995 The "EGEE MPI recommendations" do not address the problem in the first task; the TMB is looking for someone to chair a new TF to come up with a new recipe. SARA reported that they had put significant work in getting MPI running lately, perhaps they would be interested in chairing this group? Who was heading this at SARA? JT

[Ct-grid] SCAS patch submitted
by Oscar Koeroo 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hi, I just want to celibate that I've submitted patch number #2511 (https://savannah.cern.ch/patch/?2511) called: "SCAS: lcmaps-plugins-scas-client and scas (service)." Jan Just tested the latest version from lots of worker nodes on our farm and the service seems very stable and happy. Of course this doesn't mean we're finished with the topic of 'Site Central Authorization Service' just yet. We're entering a new phase regarding gLExec and SCAS, hopefully (I'm pretty confident) to have a similar impact in gLite's middleware puzzle has we had with LCAS and LCMAPS. Oscar
