Description
The ab-initio program-suite COLUMBUS was installed within the
COMPCHEM-VO in the EGEE Grid and deployed as a VGE (Vienna Grid
Environment) web-service at local sites within the University of Vienna.
Additionally the Molecular Dynamics package NEWTON-X was deployed as VGE
web-service.
These two systems, the VGE and the EGEE, persue different philosophies,
representic a bottom-up vs. a top-down approach to the problem of access
to computational resources in heterogenous environments.
From the end-user's point of view both systems have their advantages and
downsides, but are promising prototypes for future development.
