Applications:
THE GRIDBUS PROJECT TO RELEASE GRID SERVICE BROKER v1.2
The Grid Service Broker, developed as part of the Gridbus Project at the
University of Melbourne, mediates access to distributed resources by: (a)
discovering suitable data sources for a given analysis scenario; (b) suitable
computational resources; (c) optimally mapping analysis jobs to resources; (d)
deploying and monitoring job execution on selected resources; (e) accessing
data from local or remote data source during job execution; and (f) collating
and presenting results. The broker supports a declarative and dynamic
parametric programming model for creating Grid applications.
The Gridbus broker v1.2 supports the following middleware:
- Globus 2.4.x.
- Alchemi 0.8.0.
- UNICORE 4.1.0.
The Gridbus Broker is developed by the Gridbus Project, Grid Computing and
Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Lab, Dept. of Computer Science and Software
Engineering, the University of Melbourne, Australia. The project is partially
supported by Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant, Storage
Technology and the University of Melbourne.
What's New:
- Economy support from ground-up including for scheduling jobs on data Grids.
- Flexible XML based job input.
- Support for Unicore (experimental).
- Improved support for Globus 2.4.x and Alchemi 0.8.0.
- New command to enable copying files to/from a GSIFTP source.
- GUI Monitoring tool.
- Logging using log4j and expanded API documentation.
