LSC Data Analysis Software Working Groups

The LDG Client/Server packages are software packages which allow users to utilize the LIGO Data Grid (LDG). Loosely speaking, the client package is for users who want to access resources on the LDG and the server package is for system administrators who want to provide resources to the LDG. If you don't know which one you want, you want the LDG client package.

Project Librarian

Gregory Mendell (gmendell at ligo-wa.caltech.edu) is the project maintainer.
