= Introduction to the PL-Grid e-infrastructure and the !QosCosGrid services = == Introduction == The Polish Grid Infrastructure (NGI) has been built within the PL-Grid project (2009 – 2012) to provide the Polish scientific community with an IT platform based on computer clusters, enabling research in various domains of e-Science. This tutorial aims to show: * Resources and applications available in the infrastructure, * How to register in PL-Grid (anyone who is registered in [http://nauka-polska.pl/dhtml/raportyWyszukiwanie/wyszukiwanieLudzieNauki.fs?lang=pl| "Ludzie nauki"] database can apply for a PL-Grid account during the training), * End-user tools: [http://www.qoscosgrid.org/trac/qcg-icon| QCG-Icon], [https://docs.cyfronet.pl/display/PLGDoc/QCG+Simple+w+5+minut| QCG-Simple] and [http://insilicolab.grid.cyfronet.pl/ InSilicoLab], * How to run simulations efficiently. The PL-Grid infrastructure is dedicated to the polish science community. However any chemist not directly associated with polish research institution, but suffering from lack of computing resources may apply for a membership in the Gaussian Virtual Organization. == Agenda == Thursday (27.06.2013): * 18:00 - 18:30: "Introduction to the PL-Grid e-infrastructure - resources, services and tools" - presentation and demos, assistance with registration in PL-Grid * 18:30 - 19:00: "Gaussian Virtual Organization" - presentation Friday (28.06.2013): * 14:00 - 15:30: “QCG-Icon and QCG-Simple in the quantum chemistry appliance” - presentation and hands-on == Registration == The training is free of any charge but we kindly request you to fill the following [http://form.jotformeu.com/form/31623187835357? registration form]. If you have any question feel free to send us an e-mail: qcg@plgrid.pl. == Training materials == TBD == Acknowledgments == [[Image(plgrid.jpeg]] [[Image(qcg.jpeg)]] [[Image(wcss.jpeg)]]
