Get Started! Get Started!

1 I need to know what the grid is, how it works and who's using it to understand if it can help me
2 What is a grid middleware? What makes EMI special? Who's using EMI? Can I see real use cases?
3 What do I need to use EMI? What can I read to learn the beginnings? Who can I talk to?

  • Prerequisites to use the EMI middleware and start up documentation: Generic Installation and Configuration.
  • You can reach the EMI experts through the GGUS support infrastructure.
  • Read more about the EMI support procedures here.

4 I used ARC/gLite/UNICORE/dCache. What will change once my institution switches to EMI?
5 Where can I find in-depth documentation? What if I'm in trouble?
