UK Grid Support Centre launchedEdinburgh 27 July 2001 The UK Grid Support Centre was officially launched end of July. The centre, part of the UK e-Science Core Programme, the Centre is led by the CLRC e-Science Centre with participation from Edinburgh and Manchester Universities.
The role of the Centre is to help the Research Council Grid application test bed projects and the Regional e-Science Centres get up to speed quickly in their use of Grid software and to provide the technical support needed to ensure effective and rapid development of the UK Grid.
The Centre is hosting a web site which includes a Grid Starter Kit, documentation and installation guides. The Grid Starter Kit contains downloadable software and useful links to assist with building Globus, Condor and Storage Resource Broker (SRB) installations. These are the three initially recommended software building blocks for the UK Grid.
