Abstract
The Grid INFN virtual Laboratory for Dissemination Activities (GILDA) is a fully working Grid test-bed devoted to training and dissemination activities. Open to anyone who wants to have its first hand experience with grid systems, GILDA has been adopted as the official training tool by several Grid projects around the world. All services, tools and materials produced in the past tutorials can be freely used by anyone who wants to learn and teach grid technology. Additionally, through a set of applications ported on its Grid Infrastructure, developers can identify components and learn by examples how to “gridify” their applications. This work presents the main features of such training-Infrastructure.
