Abstract

Gris computing middlewares are effective tools to meet the complex computing demands of scientific users, in geographically distributed computing domains. The grid computing middlewares abstract a task's technical details, and free let user free from caring about data transfer, job submission resource allocation, and authorization across the federated resources. The RealityGrid project has adopted a fast-track approach to scientific applications on the grids, and developed a software infrastructure designed to enable existing high-end scientific application use on grids. The well-designed, robust and extensible middleware, can help scientific to introduce new technologies without requiring refactoring the application code.
