The D-Grid Initiative (German Grid Initiative) builds a sustainable Grid-Computing-infrastructure for education and research (e-Science) in Germany. The D-Grid infrastructure will help to establish methods of e-Science which means three core areas:

  • Grid Computing
  • Knowledge Management
  • e-Learning

D-Grid started September 1st, 2005 and consists of six Community-Projects and an integration project (DGI) as well as several Partner-Projects.

Integration-Project

The D-Grid integration project is a part of the D-Grid Initiative and has to integrate all developments from the different community projects in one common D-Grid platform. The D-Grid integration project wants to act as a Grid resource and service provider for the whole German science community in Germany. The project office is located at the Institute for Scientific Computing (IWR) at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. The resources to ensure a sustainable Grid infrastructure are provided by four work packages:

  • work package 1: D-Grid Base-Software.
  • work package 2: Deployment and operation of the D-Grid infrastructure.
  • work package 3: Networks and security.
  • work package 4: D-Grid project office.
