Porting legacy applications onto grid infrastructures is usually called "gridification".
The Grid Application Support Centre (GASuC) provides assistance to current and future grid users and application developers during the application gridification process. GASuC helps identify and apply best patterns, practices, tools and infrastructures in order to get your code running on production grids as soon as possible.

GASuC is supported by the world biggest grid project: Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE). Within EGEE GASuC provides support for existing EGEE users and for grid newcomers to get their applications running on gLite based grids. The group is coordinated by MTA SZTAKI GASuC team and has members from the following institutes:

• Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), Madrid, Spain
• Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Catania, Italy
• Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), Paris, France
• Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC), Madrid, Spain
• Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre (ASGC), Taipei, Taiwan
• University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia

Experts from the porting team work closely with application owners to understand their requirements and to identify suitable approaches, tools for the porting process and to set realistic and feasible porting scenarios. Intensive workshops and personalized training events organized by the team ensure that application owners become expert on porting tools and can perform the porting process with the help of the porting team quickly and efficiently.
