ApplicationSupport


There  are two centres involved in EDGeS  that provide support when an application needs to be ported to the (EDGeS) Grid. This service is open to members of the Industry and User Forums of EDGeS. The centres are:

GASuC

The Grid Application Support Centre (GASuC) provides assistance to current and future grid users and application developers during the application gridification process. GASuC helps identify and apply best patterns, practices, tools and infrastructures in order to get your code running on production grids as soon as possible.

 W-GRASS

The University of Westminster provides the Westminster Grid Application Support Service (W-GRASS) which has the aim of supporting users in the migration of their existing applications onto the Grid, and in the creation of brand new Grid applications. The goal of W-GRASS is:

  • To identify and approach those users who have compute and data intensive applications but do not yet use the Grid.
  • To analyse these applications in collaboration with their users and  identify those applications that can be gridified,
  • To Grid-enable the selected applications, i.e. to run these  applications on production Grids, such as  the EDGeS Grid and Desktop Grids.
  • To train users how to run these applications on the Grid.
