Special type of jobs (MPI, SDJ, interactive jobs, ...) and information systems

Oral contribution

1.Introduction In the 70s, the transition from batch systems to interactive computing has been the enabling tool for the widespread diffusion of advances in IC technology. Grids are facing the same challenge. The exponential coefficients in network performance enable the virtualization and pooling of processors and storage; large- scale user involvement might require seamless...

Oral contribution

Computing grids are quite attractive for large scale financial applications: this is especially evident in the segment of dynamic financial services, where applications must complete complex tasks within strict deadlines. The traditional response has been to over-provision for making sure there is plenty of ’headroom’ in resource availability, thereby maintaining large computational...

1 GRIDCC Applications and Requirements The GRIDCC project [1], sponsored by the European Union under contract number 511381, and launched in September 2004, endeavors to integrate scientific and general-purpose instruments within the Grid. The motivation is to exploit the Grid opportunities for secure, collaborative work of distributed teams and to utilize the Grid’s massive...

100. Efficient job handling in the GRID: short deadline, interactivity, fault tolerance and parallelism

Special type of jobs (MPI, SDJ, interactive jobs, ...) and information systems

Oral contribution

The major GRID infastructures are designed mainly for batch-oriented computing with coarse-grained jobs and relatively high job turnaround time. However many practical applications in natural and physical sciences may be easily parallelized and run as a set of smaller tasks which require little or no synchronization and which may be scheduled in a more efficient way. The Distributed...

Special type of jobs (MPI, SDJ, interactive jobs, ...) and information systems

Oral contribution

With the fast growth of the video games and entertainment industry - thanks to the appearance of new games, new technologies and innovative hardware devices - the capacity to react becomes critical for competing in the market of services and entertainment. Therefore it is necessary to be able to count on advanced middleware solutions and technological platforms that allow a fast unfolding...

71. User Applications of R-GMA

Dr Steve Fisher (RAL)

Special type of jobs (MPI, SDJ, interactive jobs, ...) and information systems

Oral contribution

The Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA) provides a uniform method to access and publish both information and monitoring data. It has been designed to be easy for individuals to publish and retrieve data. It provides information about the grid, mainly for the middleware packages, and information about grid applications for users. From a user's perspective, an R-GMA...
