| | 06/Mar/2008 | Registration for the International Summer School on Grid Computing is open.
The school will bring together world experts and enthusiastic students to examine the conceptual and practical underpinnings of today's grids.
P-GRADE Portal tutorial is also part of the school's program. Further information -»
| | 16/Jan/2008 | Open Source P-GRADE Grid Portal Project launched
Open source P-GRADE Portal project has been launched on Sourceforge.net in January by MTA SZTAKI.
The source code of the latest, 2.6 release of the software has been made publicly accessible with this step.
The GPL licensed open source code is the answer to the appeals of several projects and communities who wish to contribute to the software.
Capitalizing the appearance of P-GRADE Portal on Sourceforge, SZTAKI also would like to broaden and strengthen the user,
grid application developer and grid trainer communities around the software.
The recently released and now opened 2.6 version of P-GRADE provides several remarkable features, such as an intelligent job resubmission layer
which hides grid errors from end users, or a file manager graphical tool that makes file and replica management on grids as convenient as on a local PC.

What is the P-GRADE Grid Portal?
The P-GRADE Grid Portal is a web based, service rich environment for the development,
execution and monitoring of workflows and workflow based parameter studies on various grid platforms.
P-GRADE Portal hides low-level grid access mechanisms by high-level
graphical interfaces, making even non grid expert users capable of defining and executing
distributed applications on multi-institutional computing infrastructures.
Workflows and workflow based parameter studies defined in the P-GRADE Portal are
portable between grid platforms without learning new systems or re-engineering program code.
Technology neutral interfaces and concepts of the P-GRADE Portal help users cope with the large variety
of grid solutions. More than that, any P-GRADE Portal installation can access multiple
grids simultaneously, which enables the easy distribution of complex applications on several platforms.

Current status
P-GRADE Grid Portal is the official portal and serves the user communities of several
multi-institutional grid infrastructures all over the world. It is extensively used in training
and education by international grid research projects to demonstrate the capabilities of state of the art grid infrastructures
and the concepts of grid application development. Several P-GRADE Portal installations are available for production and training purposes.
