[edit] Grid-related work
One of my key tasks in the BeSTGRID project is to set up the grid gateway node at the University of Canterbury.
The key software package used is the Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT), http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/

[edit] Applications
I have also documented the setup of Bioinformatics applications and Modflow 2000 on the UCSC admin wiki. As these links are accessible only from the University of Canterbury campus network, I have rewritten the Bioinformatics applications page here onto BeSTGRID wiki.
- Installing Blender on CentOS 4
- Installing Blender on CentOS 5 x86_64
- List of applications available on BeSTGRID
[edit] User documentation
- I have written a very simple introduction on Getting started with the portal.
- And compiled a list of Grid Tools I would recommend.
- List of Computational Grid Resources available on BeSTGRID
Additional doc:
- Using the DataFabric
- Administering the DataFabric
- DataFabric Improvements
