The Consorzio COMETA Grid School
(http://www.consorzio-cometa.it/events/grid-school-2007)
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
• First International Grid School for Industrial Application
(Aci Trezza, Catania, 30 Jun - 07 Jul 2007)
– 7 applications selected (2 from coming from the industrial
worlds) and successfully ported to the Grid.
Just an example:
 OpenFoam, The Open Source Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) Toolbox, is now able to run on the COMETA infrastructure
– Some of them requiring MPI2CH (a patch for the gLite WMS was
developed to enable that feature) and 64bit platform (WN
installed with 64bit SO and libraries)

The EUChinaGRID School
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
• School for Application Integration on Grid
(Beijing, China, 25 Oct – 03 Nov 2007)
– 4 applications ported and ready to run on the EUChina Grid
Infrastructure:
 Grid-based Statistical Analysis of Fe Abundances Gradients in the
Galaxy
 Three biological applications used within the Chinese Human
Cancer Project (BLAST, Blat, SIM4)
 ZEN - Cosmological parameter constraints with the combination of
different probes - aims to solve the dark energy enigma
 A Drug Discovery application

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
• Two Grid Schools held in Martina Franca (Taranto, Italy) from 5th to
23rd of November 2007
– 1 week Grid Site Administrator Training Course (to prepare the “Grid-ina-Room” infrastructure to be used in the following weeks)
– 2 weeks Application Integration Training School
– 7 applications belonging to different fields such as hadron therapy, datamining, neural networks, environment and civil protection, hydrology,
optimization COMPLETELY “gridified” already during the school
– By the end of the school, some applications were also running on INFN
production Grid using the resources of several virtual organizations
(GRIDIT, THEOPHYS, PAMELA, BIO)
