Other GridPP Projects
In addition to building working Grid of significant scale, deploying Grid Middleware for use by Particle Physics and other Applications, GridPP is involved in the following other projects:
Public computing
GridPP@homeThe GridPP contribution to CERN's LHC@home project. LHC@home uses public computing (like SETI@home) to simluate the paths of particles around the Large Hadron Collider.
Authorization tools
GridSiteA certificate-based website management system, that allows members of an organisation to collaborate in maintaining pages etc. Authentification is based on Grid credentials, but with unmodified web browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer. GridSite is used for the GridPP website you are reading now.
SlashGrid
SlashGrid is a framework for building Grid-aware
local and remote filesystems, where files are "owned"
according to certificate name rather than Unix UID.
GACL
A library used by GridSite and SlashGrid to parse
Grid Access Control Lists in XML.
gridmapdir dynamic accounts
A small patch to Globus 1.1.3/2.0b which allows the
dynamic leasing of Unix accounts from a pool to incoming
jobs and gridftp requests. This removes the need to
pre-create large numbers of accounts at sites, one for
each user who may one day want access.
