“…As pointed out in [11], a wrapping approach has the disadvantage of requiring access to source code and may require modification of the original legacy source code. In addition, the wrapping process is not entirely automatic, so considerable user effort may be required if the process needs to be applied to many legacy codes.…”

“…In addition, the wrapping process is not entirely automatic, so considerable user effort may be required if the process needs to be applied to many legacy codes. In [10,11], GEMLCA has taken a further step to create a general solution to deploy existing legacy code applications as Grid services without modifying the source code by creating a frontend Grid service layer. To access a legacy code program, the user executes the GEMLCA Grid service client that creates a legacy code instance with the help of the legacy code factory.…”

“…However, users can freely select and utilise these additional services based on their requirements and experience with the service. This previously described scenario was utilised to connect GEMLCA (Grid Execution Management for Legacy Code Architecture) [1] to the UK National Grid Service. GEMLCA enables legacy code programs written in any source language (Fortran, C, Java, etc.)…”

Abstract-In order to improve reliability and to deal with the high complexity of existing middleware solutions, today's production Grid systems restrict the services to be deployed on their resources. On the other hand end-users require a wide range of value added services to fully utilize these resources. This paper describes a solution how legacy code support is offered as third party service for production Grids. The introduced solution, based on the Grid Execution Management for Legacy Code Architecture (GEMLCA), do not require the deployment of additional applications on the Grid resources, or any extra effort from Grid system administrators. The implemented solution was successfully connected to and demonstrated on the UK National Grid Service.

“…However, an end-user without specialist computing skills still requires a user-friendly Web interface (portal) to access the GEMLCA functionalities: to deploy, execute and retrieve results from legacy applications. Instead of developing a new custom Grid portal, GEMLCA was integrated with the workflow-oriented P-GRADE Grid portal [20] extending its functionalities with new portlets [18]. In this chapter the features of the integrated GEMLCA/P-GRADE portal are introduced.…”
