This group was started on June 1st 2010 so it's early days at the moment.

Group Aims

  • Describe briefly what grid computing is.
  • Link to other related groups. MPI, clouds.
  • Create a yum group of grid client tools.
  • Document some of the basic setup of grid software as provided within Fedora.
