• The NA3 Training Material Repository is an area provided by the NA3 activity which contains all the training material for Grid training to date.
• The NextGrid's Video links page is a collection of introductory videos to Grid computing and its potential.
• The GATE Application Video is a short film describing how the EGEE infrastructure is being used in the Biomedical field.
• The Royal Society paper on "Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences" written by various luminaries of the EGEE project, you will have to log into the site to read the full text.
• News stories relating to the Grid from the World's media.
• The EGEE Partners are the people and institutions who are using and helping to develop the EGEE Grid network to its full potential. You can access each partner website by clicking on the respective acronym. Please note that some of the sites are not written in English.
• The NA4 Wiki site is intended to be a lively and collaborative web site to discuss problems and issues arising within NA4 Generic Applications, but is by no means restricted to that topic.
• The Israeli Association of Grid Technologies (IGT) homepage.
• Globus.org is the homepage of the Globus Alliance and their toolkit.
• The Open Science Grid is a US grid computing infrastructure that supports scientific computing via an open collaboration of science researchers, software developers and computing, storage and network providers.
• Grid Cafe is a great starting point if you want to know more about Grid Computing. It gives an overview of the Grid, its history, uses and potential. It even has a game or two!
• Primeur Monthly is the premier Grid and Supercomputing information source in the world. Primeur Monthly provides you with a free update with news and in-depth stories.
• Enter the Grid is the largest directory on Grid computing in the world.
• Grids Watch is a US based page dedicated to the overview and development of Grid computing throughout the world.
• The IST Results service gives you online news and analysis on the emerging results from Information Society Technologies research. The service reports on prototype products and services ready for commercialisation as well as work in progress and interim results with significant potential for exploitation.
• The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is based in Dubna, Russia. The aim of the project is to create a Grid Resource Information Database, to bring together all the informational resources and materials for the Grid and present it in one place for the benefit of the users. This information will take the form of articles, tutorials, guides, news, presentations, videos and so on. (mostly in Russian)
• TeraGrid Seismic Modeling and Oil Reservoir Simulations with TeraGrid in the US.
• DataGrid was the predecessor to the EGEE project. It was one of the first projects that aimed to enable intensive computation and analysis of shared large-scale databases holding millions of gigabytes of data, across widely distributed scientific communities. It enabled next generation scientific exploration and data processing capabilities that we know today as The Grid.
• DutchGrid is the platform for Grid Computing and Technology in the Nederlands.
• Grid Research Integration Deployment and Support Center a grid related portal with lots of information about grid technologies and downloads available of the latest software etc.
• Grid Computing Planet is a good place to keep abreast of what's happening generally in the world of Grid Computing, with news articles, discussion and reports.
• The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Computing Grid Project is the latest project at CERN in Switzerland, the new Particle Accelerator being built to find the 'Higgs Boson' and expand other areas of Physics by producing conditions previously impossible to simulate through the use of Grid Technology.
• Grid Computing Information Centre (GRID Infoware) is another good 'overview' site which has lots of links to other Grid related resources.
• DataMiningGrid or 'The Data Mining Tools and Services for Grid Computing Environments' project is a shared cost Strategic Targeted Research Project (STREP) granted by the European Commission. It is part of the Sixth Framework Programme of the Information Society Technologies Programme (IST).
• The Global Grid Forum (GGF) is a meeting place for thousands of individuals from both industry and research, where global standardisation for Grid computing is discussed. GGF's primary objective is to support the development, deployment, and implementation of various Grid technologies and applications. It will also develop 'best practice' guidlines and documentation for technical specifications, user experience and implementation.
• HPCwire is the leading online source of news and information covering HPC and Grid technologies. Free subscriptions are available to help you stay informed of the latest industry trends and best practices.
• The UniGrids project develops a grid service infrastructure based on the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) and on the UNICORE grid software initially developed in the German UNICORE and UNICORE Plus projects and extended in the EU funded EUROGRID and GRIP projects. UniGrids will develop translation mechanisms, such as resource ontologies, to interoperate with other OGSA compliant systems. At the same time UniGrids will target grid economics by developing a SLA framework and cross-grid brokering services. The project developments will be proven in scientific and industrial domains, namely biomolecular and computational biology, energy, geophysical depth imaging by oil companies and reactor safety.
• The Elegant Universe is a three hour introduction to Particle Physics, Unification Theory and String Theory, broken down into five minute or so streamed video clips.
• People, Institutes and Experiments (PIE) is an internet front-end database developed by CERN, which enables searching, communication and collaboration between various projects in the field of Nuclear Research.
