Globus

The Globus Toolkit is the de facto grid middleware standard. It's the basis for many of the projects listed in the external links. It's the basis for the services that we are currently providing.

Download it and follow along with the installation instructions by Gabriel Mateescu.

If you have further questions about the installation or use of Globus we've found it useful to search through the archive of the discuss mailing list.
