DIRAC, EGI.eu and several NGIs are setting up a pilot service providing a single entry point to EGI’s distributed grid and cloud e­-Infrastructure. The leader of the project is Ricardo Graciani, a member of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences.

The aim of the pilot is to develop a prototype of a full-scale DIRAC service for EGI. This experience will be used to develop Horizon 2020 proposals for the deployment, operation, and dissemination of a global DIRAC service connecting researchers to the e-Infrastructure. The service will connect existing science gateway solutions and application/domain specific VREs, as well as from DIRAC interactive portals.

The purpose is to demonstrate how DIRAC can help large well-established communities, as well as small research groups and individual scientists, to exploit the existing e-Infrastructure and boost their scientific output.
