The European Middleware Initiative (EMI) was a computer software platform for high performance distributed computing. It was developed and distributed directly by the EMI project. It was the base for other grid middleware distributions used by scientific research communities and distributed computing infrastructures all over the world especially in Europe, South America and Asia. EMI supported broad scientific experiments and initiatives, such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (for the Large Hadron Collider).
The EMI middleware was a cooperation among three general purpose grid platforms, the Advanced Resource Connector, gLite and UNICORE and the dCache storage software.
The project ended on 30 April 2013.
