GRIDSEED 1.6.2 Release
16 December 2010
eLab and EU-Indiagrid team at ICTP are proud to announce the release 1.6.2 of GRIDSEED.
GRIDSEED is a tool that simplifies the setting up of a fully fledged grid infrastructure based on the gLite middleware. It was developed to easily deploy a training grid infrastructure almost everywhere in the world, since the only requirement is a set of hosts (simple PCs) locally networked together.
The main features of this new release are:
- DHCP server on master is listening on different port (4242), DHCP clients on WNs are configured to query only that server.
- Every CE has only 16 WN associated (instead of 256 of the previous release).
- New Milu Users Interfaces, 32 and 64 bit, both with gridway metascheduler.
- CREAM CEs have enabled the support of new MPI attributes.
- Added a lcg-CE and a lcg-WN for gridway job submission.
- Added a new VO elab for testing pourpouse
- Tutor user created, on both milu UI, with examples jobs in its home directory.

EUIndiaGrid2 is playing an important role in enhancing and increasing Euro-India cooperation on e-Infrastructures through collaboration with key policy players both from the Government of India and the European Commission. EUIndiaGrid2 also works closely with policy initiatives such as e-IRGSP2 and Euro-India SPIRIT
Global networks are the glue that holds together Scientific Research Communities around the world. Networks such as GÉANT (The Pan-European Education and Research Network), TEIN3 (The Trans-Eurasia Information Network) and the NKN (National Knowledge Network of India) are all key to this process.
Two main grids exist in India – the Regional component of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG ) and GARUDA, the India National Grid Initiative. Both initiatives strongly rely on the development of national and international connectivity. In this respect fundamental steps have been taken and impressive targets have been achieved.
