STAR GRID Home page

These pages are dedicated to the GRID effort in STAR as part of our collaboration with Particle Physics Data Grid.

Within STAR GRID we monitor the evolution of GRID middleware and tools, and work on their integration within the STAR Software Infrastructure.

The current projects that are being developed at BNL are:

Scheduler - The tool used by end-users in STAR to submit jobs.
File Catalog - The tool that keeps track of the production files.
File Replication - large-scale (~100 TB in 2003) replication of production-level data from BNL to LBNL.
Infrastructure and Distributed computing
MySQL project activities - We are in the process to evaluate the Grid-ification of MySQL as an example of Grid-integrated database solution
Monitoring - Monitoring activities in General (Ganglia, etc ...)
