Description
The scope of the session is to update on the status of support to MPI parallel applications from the users perspective, operational and middleware point of view. In the first presentation we will have an update of the users experience based mainly on the Computational Chemistry VO. Afterwards the operational support and procedures to validate and certificate middleware will be outlined. In the last part of the session there will be representatives from glite, ARC and Unicore to discuss the different support strategies provided by each middleware, and the technical possibilities to offer an unified support in the framework of the EGI infrastructure.
