Introduction to Developing Grid Applications

14th and 15th March 2006

This course will provide researchers with a practical introduction to Grid computing, enabling them to develop applications that can take advantage of the rapidly growing national and international Grid infrastructures. We will introduce basic Grid concepts before outlining the tools available for submitting jobs and managing data on the Grid. Practical sessions will help attendees to familiarise themselves with the basic Grid tools by developing mini-applications. We will also address advanced topics such as MPI on the grid.

The primary goal of the meeting is to assist in grid-enabling both new and existing applications. All scientific users of Grid-Ireland, system administrators and IT managers are invited. The course will be jointly taught by Grid-Ireland and the UK National e-Science Centre (Edinburgh) as part of the EU project Enabling Grids for e-Science (EGEE).
