Description
The European Middleware Initiative (EMI)
aims to deliver a consolidated set of middleware components
for deployment in Distributed Computing Infrastructures, extending the
interoperability between grids and other computing
infrastructures, strengthening the reliability of the services, and
establish a sustainable model to maintain and
evolve the middleware, fulfilling the requirements of user
communities.
EMI middleware is not build from ground up, but rather,
delivers a consolidated and streamlined set of services and
components from existing middleware projects ARC, gLite, UNICORE and dCache by
re-factoring existing components, defining and implementing standards
and phasing out duplicate or obsolete
components from the original middleware stacks. The middleware
components are divided in four areas (Compute, Data, Security,
Infrastructure). This tutorial will introduce usage of most commonly used clients
for job and data management.
This user oriented tutorial is based on the first release of the EMI middleware, EMI-1 "Kebnekaise".
It will provide an overview of EMI clients
for Computing and Data Services, giving concrete examples and highlighting best practices
and most common mistakes.
