P-GRADE Portal
The P-GRADE Grid Portal was software for web portals to manage the life-cycle of executing a parallel application in grid computing. It was developed by the MTA SZTAKI Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems (LPDS) at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary, from around 2005 through 2010. Features By building onto the GridSphere portal framework, the P-GRADE Portal hides details of grid systems with high-level interfaces that can be integrated with middleware. It offers portlet based access to the following services: * definition of grid environments * creation and modification of workflow applications * management of grid certificates * controlling and execution of workflow applications on grid resources * monitoring and visualization of workflows and their component jobs. The P-GRADE Portal allows multi-user development and execution of workflows, and also provides support for workflow level grid interoperation. The portal supports middleware technologies inclu ...

Advanced Resource Connector
Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) is a grid computing middleware introduced by NorduGrid. It provides a common interface for submission of computational tasks to different distributed computing systems and thus can enable grid infrastructures of varying size and complexity. The set of services and utilities providing the interface is known as ARC Computing Element (ARC-CE). ARC-CE functionality includes data staging and caching, developed in order to support data-intensive distributed computing. ARC is an open source software distributed under the Apache License 2.0. History ARC appeared (and is still often referred to) as the ''NorduGrid middleware'', originally proposed as an architecture on top of the Globus Toolkit optimized for the needs of High-Energy Physics computing for the Large Hadron Collider experiments. First deployment of ARC at the NorduGrid testbed took place in summer 2002, and by 2003 it was used to support complex computations. The first stable release of ...

BELNET
Belnet (the Belgian National research and education network) is a Belgian internet provider for educational institutions, research centres, scientific institutes and government services. Since 1993, BELNET provides web services to higher education, federal departments and ministries, and international organisations. Since 2001, Belnet provides IPv6 connectivity and multicast access to its customers. One of Belnet's FTP servers is a mirror for holding several files related to the FOSS and GNU communities, as well as Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora. Since 2004, Belnet is the operator of BEgrid, the Belgian research grid infrastructure, and since 2009 it is also the operator of the BEgrid Portal (based on P-GRADE Portal technology). On 4 and 5 May 2021, Belnet was subject to a massive DDOS attack that disrupted the accessibility of websites using the .be domain, including those of the Belgian government, parliament, police, educational and research insti ...

National Grid Service
The National E-Infrastructure Service (NES), formerly the National Grid Service, was an organisation for UK academics and researchers from 2004 through 2011. It was funded by two governmental bodies, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). Description The NES provided compute and data resources accessed through a standard common set of services. NES services are based on the Globus Toolkit for job submission and the Storage Resource Broker for data management. NES resources hosted scientific software packages, including SIESTA and Gaussian. As well as providing access to compute and data resources, the NES offered training (through the National e-Science Centre in Edinburgh) and Grid support to all UK academics and researchers in grid computing. NES had more than 500 users and twenty nine sites. The NES and GridPP were the two organisations that made up theUK NGIthe organisation which was the UK's poi ...

NorduGrid
NorduGrid is a collaboration aiming at development, maintenance and support of the free Grid middleware, known as the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC). History The name ''NorduGrid'' first became known in 2001 as short for the project called "Nordic Testbed for Wide Area Computing and Data Handling" funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers via the Nordunet2 programme. That project's main goal was to set up a prototype of a distributed computing infrastructure (a ''testbed''), aiming primarily at the needs of the High Energy Physics researchers in the ATLAS experiment. Following evaluation of the then existing Grid technology solutions, NorduGrid developers came up with an alternative software architecture. It was implemented and demonstrated in May 2002, and soon became known as the ''NorduGrid Middleware''. In 2004 this middleware solution was given a proper name, the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC). Until May 2003, NorduGrid headquarters were in the Niels Bohr Institute ...

Platform LSF
IBM Spectrum LSF (LSF, originally Platform Load Sharing Facility) is a workload management platform, job scheduler, for distributed high performance computing (HPC) by IBM. Details It can be used to execute batch jobs on networked Unix and Windows systems on many different architectures. LSF was based on the ''Utopia'' research project at the University of Toronto. In 2007, Platform released ''Platform Lava'', which is a simplified version of LSF based on an old version of LSF release, licensed under GNU General Public License v2. The project was discontinued in 2011, succeeded by OpenLava. In January, 2012, Platform Computing was acquired by IBM. The product is now called IBM Spectrum LSF. IBM Spectrum LSF Community Edition is a no-charge community edition of the IBM Spectrum LSF workload management platform.

Portable Batch System
Portable Batch System (or simply PBS) is the name of computer software that performs job scheduling. Its primary task is to allocate computational tasks, i.e., batch jobs, among the available computing resources. It is often used in conjunction with UNIX cluster environments. PBS is supported as a job scheduler mechanism by several meta schedulers including Moab by Adaptive Computing Enterprises and GRAM ( Grid Resource Allocation Manager), a component of the Globus Toolkit. History and versions PBS was originally developed for NASA under a contract project that began on June 17, 1991. The main contractor who developed the original code was MRJ Technology Solutions. MRJ was acquired by Veridian in the late 1990s. Altair Engineering acquired the rights to all the PBS technology and intellectual property from Veridian in 2003. Altair Engineering currently owns and maintains the intellectual property associated with PBS, and also employs the original development team from ...
