Abstract
The EGEE project (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) operates the world’s largest grid infrastructure today. Combining over 15000 CPUs in more than 120 resource centers on a 24x7 basis, EGEE provides grid services to a diverse user community at institutions around the world. At the core of this infrastructure is gLite, a next generation grid middleware stack, which represents a bleeding-edge, best-of-breed framework for building grid applications. Together with gLite and a federated hierarchical structure of resource and regional operation centers, EGEE offers grid computing for a variety of different applications, including high-energy physics, biomedicine, earth sciences, computational chemistry, and astrophysics.
