PandaGrid - a Tool for Physics — •Kilian Schwarz1 and Dan Protopopescu2 — 1GSI, Planckstr. 1, D-64291 Darmstadt — 2University of Glasgow, G12 8QQ, Scotland, UK
PandaGrid is based on the AliEn middleware and contains currently 18 sites on 3 continents. PandaGrid provides the physicist not only with computing resources but with a complete suite of tools and services, freeing the user from the overhead of software installation, configuration, data storage and job management. Consequently, the user can focus solely on the physics to be studied. This is made possible by the support structure within the PandaGrid, where, besides computing infrastructure, expert teams provide middleware and experiment-specific software support, monitoring, rapid prototyping and fast problem solving.
