- The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) or the NorduGrid middleware is an open source software solution enabling production quality computational and data Grids, with special emphasis on scalability, stability, reliability and performance. Since its first release in May 2002, the middleware is deployed and being used in production environments. This paper aims to present the future development directions and plans of the ARC middleware in terms of outlining the software development roadmap.

LCG and ARC middleware interoperability
- 2006
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- LCG and ARC are two of the major production-ready Grid middleware solutions being used by hundreds of HEP researchers every day. Even though the middlewares are based on same technology, there are substantial architectural and implementational divergencies. An ordinary user faces difficulties trying to cross the boundaries of the two systems: ARC clients so far have not been capable accessing LCG resources and vice versa. After presenting the similarities and differences of the LCG and ARC middlewares, we will focus on the strategies implementing interoperable layers over the two middlewares. The most important areas are the job submission and management and information system components. The basic requirement for the interoperability layer implementation is capability of transparent cross Grid job submission both from ARC and LCG.

A distributed Tier-1
- 2008

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Tier-1 facility operated by the Nordic DataGrid Facility (NDGF) differs significantly from other Tier-1s in several aspects: firstly, it is not located at one or a few premises, but instead is distributed throughout the Nordic countries; secondly, it is not under the governance of a single organization but instead is a meta-center built of resources under the control of a number of different national organizations. We present some technical implications of these aspects as well as the high-level design of this distributed Tier-1. The focus will be on computing services, storage and monitoring.
