This document provides an introduction to grid computing and e-infrastructures. It discusses how grid computing allows users to access computing resources from different heterogeneous sources similar to how an electrical power grid provides power from various sources. It describes some examples of large-scale grids including the Large Hadron Collider and EGEE Grid. It also outlines some of the key components of grid infrastructure including middleware, virtual organizations, and applications.

Kampala - Uganda, Grid User Tutorial, 11.11.200913The South African National GridA national project coordinated by Meraka Institute, in concert with Universities and National Laboratories, along the lines of EGEE, to provide an integrated collaborative, high-performance computing platform to the nation's researchers
- 17. Currently :
- 18. 7 sites providing computing resources (storage, CPU), 5 in negotiation.
- 19. 2 sites provide core services (information index, workload management, medatada, file catalogue)
- 20. Project entails
- 21. Training and dissemination (collaboration with GILDA/INFN, EPIKH project)
- 22. Certificate Authority for accreditation to EUGridPMA under development
- 23. Interoperability is paramount to international collaboration. Close coordination with IGI (Italian National Grid) and INFN
- 24. Middleware is 100% compatible with EGEE/EGI, close coordination in deployment/upgrade, etc.Kampala - Uganda, Grid User Tutorial, 11.11.200914The South African National GridWeb presence:
