Efficient Grid Service Design to Integrate Parallel Applications

Abstract

Although grid systems and grid computing have greatly evolved during the past few years, parallel application support remains somewhat limited. A new method for integrating parallel applications as grid services is presented. This method assumes that underlying parallel applications are resources for grid services; also, it implies that service resources may be clients for some predefined helper grid services. The design of the grid service is based on a Factory Service / Instance Service architecture, aiming to offer support for managing multiple resources. The tests were performed on the GRAI Grid (Academic Grid for Complex Applications), using Globus Toolkit 4 – versions 4.0.3 and 4.0.5 – as the base middleware.
