“…Taken together, the system components CCS, RSD, SCL build the nucleus of an open metacomputer environment [4], analogous to the well-known GLOBUS [5] project. In fact, some of our components are similar to those implemented in the GLOBUS environment; for a comparison see Section 6.1.…”

We present a software system for the management of geographically distributed highperformance computers. It consists of three components: 1. The Computing Center Software (CCS) is a vendor-independent resource management software for local HPC systems. It controls the mapping and scheduling of interactive and batch jobs on massively parallel systems; 2. The Resource and Service Description (RSD) is used by CCS for specifying and mapping hardware and software components of (meta-)computing environments. It has a graphical user interface, a textual representation and an object-oriented API; 3. The Service Coordination Layer (SCL) co-ordinates the co-operative use of resources in autonomous computing sites. It negotiates between the applications' requirements and the available system services.

“…3) : a set of parallel machines or clusters are linked together with Internet to provide a very large parallel computing resource. Grid environments such as Globus, MOL [32], Polder [28] or Netsolve [4] are well designed to handle meta-cluster computing session to execute long-distance parallel applications.…”

Today's computational grids are using the standard IP routing functionality, that has basically remained unchanged for 2 decades, considering the network as a pure communication infrastructure. With the grid's distributed system point of view, one might consider to extend the commodity Internet's basic functionalities. Higher value functionalities can thus be offered to computational grids. In this paper, we report on our early experiences in building application-aware components and in defining an active grid architecture that would bring the usage of computational grid to a higher level than it is now (mainly batch submission of jobs). To illustrate the potential of this approach, we first present how such application-aware components could be built and then some experiments on deploying enhanced communication services for the grid. We will show how reliable multicast and QoS mechanisms could deploy specific services based on the grid application needs.

“…The user access systems provide the end users of the Grid with transparent access to geographically distributed resources in a location independent manner. Examples of such systems include CCS [12], MOL [13], NetSolve [3], and PUNCH [10] The Grid Integrated Architecture [6], which is an extension of the Globus/GUSTO effort, intends to provide a global distributed uniform infrastructure. The Grid fabric layer in the architecture corresponds to a combination of our Grid kernel interface layer and the Grid kernel.…”

Grid computing systems are being positioned as the high performance computing infrastructure of the future that will be used to solve grand challenge problems and also provide the infrastructure for wide area distributed network computing. The architecture of the Grid will determine if it will meet these challenges. We propose a Grid architecture that is secure, high performance and extensible. It is based on the concept of a small, lightweight Grid kernel that provides uniform resource management services and runs on both traditional network equipment and host computers. More comprehensive Grid services are layered on top of the Grid kernel.
