GridPP 52 has been confirmed for August 28th – 30th, 2024. It will showcase significant advancements and collaborative efforts in the grid computing. This event will bring together leading scientists, researchers, and technologists to discuss the latest developments and future directions for grid infrastructure supporting high-energy physics and other data-intensive sciences. Venue : University of […]
The GridPP UserGuide, the first point of contact for new users to the Grid, has now been updated to use Ganga. Ganga is a Python-based User Interface that makes moving your workflow from local running to the Grid much easier, and thanks to CVMFS all the software you need to use it is available without […]
In the ‘old days’ of the grid, deploying software to the worker nodes upon which your computing job would run was a non-trivial task. Once you had got it working on the appropriate operating system (generally Scientific Linux), you would have to package it up, send it off, and remotely install it on each system […]
The UK’s GridPP Collaboration has agreed to support the Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC (MoEDAL) with grid computing resources to aid the hunt for Paul Dirac’s hypothesised magnetic monopoles. As the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continues its hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, the MoEDAL experiment will offer a […]
Last week saw the 37th GridPP Collaboration meeting – a.k.a. #GridPP37 – take place once again at Ambleside, kindly supported by BIOS IT. The theme – “(R)evolution” – reflected how things are moving on with GridPP5 and how GridPP is adapting to current trends in distributed computing. The GridPP Collaboration at GridPP37, Ambleside.
