Enabling Grids for E-sciencE represents the world's largest multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure today. Co-funded by the European Commission, it brings together more than 250 resource centres from 48 countries to produce a reliable and scalable computing resource available to the European and global research community. This article provides an overview of EGEE, its infrastructure, middleware, applications and support structures. This article is intended to provide a first source of information for similar efforts elsewhere and based on EGEE's experiences a sustainable model for Grid operations will be discussed.

Grid computing infrastructures are inherently dynamic and unpredictable environments shared by many users. Grid schedulers aim to make efficient use of Grid resources while providing the best possible performance to the Grid applications and satisfying the associated performance and policy constraints. Additionally, in commercial Grid settings, where the Grid resource brokering becomes an increasingly important part of Grid scheduling, it is necessary to minimise the cost of application execution on the behalf of the Grid users, while ensuring that the applications meet their QoS constraints. Efficient resource allocation could in turn also allow the resource broker to maximise it's profit by minimising the number of resources procured. Scheduling in such a large-scale, dynamic and distributed environment is a complex undertaking. In this paper, we propose an approach to Grid scheduling which abstracts over the details of individual applications, focusing instead on the global cost optimisation problem and the scheduling of the entire Grid workload. Our model places particular emphasis on the stochastic and unpredictable nature of the Grid, leading to a more accurate reflection of the state of the Grid and hence more efficient and accurate scheduling decisions.

Desktop grids use opportunistic sharing to exploit large collections of personal computers and workstations across the Internet, achieving tremendous computing power at low cost. Traditional desktop grid systems are typically based on a client-server architecture, which has inherent shortcomings with respect to robustness, reliability and scalability. In this paper, we propose a decentralized, robust, highly available, and scalable infrastructure to match incoming jobs to available resources. Through a comparative analysis on the experimental results obtained via simulation of three different types of matchmaking algorithms under different workload scenarios, we show the trade-offs between effcient matchmaking and good load balancing in a fully decentralized, heterogeneous computational environment.
