Cxhpc: Setting Up Bygrid - First Steps Towards An E-Science Infrastructure In Bavaria

ByGRID is a Grid project based on the GLOBUS toolkit. Its purpose is to (i) demonstrate the functionality of Grid middleware, delivering to end users the benefits, but not the complexity of Grid-based workflow and to (ii) share, for the benefit of the users, unique resources between the two computing centers involved, RRZE and LRZ. We examine ByGRID from the computing center's view, reporting on setup, encountered problems, and administration, and from the user's point of view, explaining a practical usage scenario.
