So what on earth is SAGA?

Click  here for more, but in a nutshell:

SAGA is a community technical specification, on the door-step to becoming a standard, via the  Open Grid Forum (OGF) as a high-level API that directly addresses the needs of application developers. The purpose of SAGA is two-fold:

• Provide a simple API that can be used with much less effort compared to the vanilla interfaces of existing grid middleware. A guiding principle for achieving this simplicity is the 80–20 rule: serve 80% of the use cases with 20% of the effort needed for serving 100% of all possible requirements and
• Provide a standardized, portable, common interface across various Grid middleware systems and their versions.

Now that you are an expert on all matters SAGA, here is some material to start hurting your brains. We could after all, have called it the "Simple API for Distributed Environments" (SADE) which would have made us a bunch of SADEsts :)

This Wiki serves as a notepad for developers, users and all self-respecting intellectually-inquisitive folk to communicate and stay abreast of the exciting developments in the SAGA world of Applied Distributed Systems. Stay tuned to learn about the:

• The SAGA C++ Reference Implementation
• SAGA Adaptor Development Projects
• SAGA Application Development Projects
• And in general, how SAGA conquers the World, quite  literally
