It was a very subtle participation, not to mention a small one, to have
InteGrade running only in 10 of the almost 4 thousand machines of the
Campus Party. Yet, among us, the unanimous felling of the importance
and gratefulness of this experience prevailed. Designed to leverage the
idle power of commodity machines the middleware faced multiple
challenges. It happened during the second edition of Brazillian Campus
Party, where we used the grid as a platform and an example for a
12-hour course about Grid Computing, given by InteGrade team members.
The goal was to explain the main concepts of this particular subject,
including how to develop, deploy, and test parallel/distributed
applications in a real grid.
