Lightweight Self-Organizing Frameworks for Metacomputing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel component-based, service-oriented framework for distributed metacomputing is described. Adopting a provider-centric view of resource sharing, this project emphasizes lightweight software infrastructures that maintain minimal state, and interface to current and emerging distributed computing standards. Resource owners host a software backplane onto which owners, clients, or third-party resellers may load components or component-suites that deliver value added services without compromising owner security or control. Standards-based descriptions of services facilitate publication and discovery via established schemes. The architecture of the container framework, design of components, security and access control schemes, and preliminary experiences are described in this paper.

متن کاملTowards OGSA Compatibility in Alternative Metacomputing Frameworks
Lately, grid research has focused its attention on interoperability and standards, such as Grid Services, in order to facilitate resource virtualization, and to accommodate the intrinsic heterogeneity of resources in distributed environments. To ensure interoperability with other grid solutions, it is important that new and emerging metacomputing frameworks conform to these standards. In partic...

متن کاملA Directory Service for Configuring High-Performance Distributed Computations
High-performance execution in distributed computing environments often requires careful selection and configuration not only of computers, networks, and other resources but also of the protocols and algorithms used by applications. Selection and configuration in turn require access to accurate, up-to-date information on the structure and state of available resources. Unfortunately, no standard ...
متن کاملThe Harness Metacomputing Framework
Metacomputing frameworks have received renewed attention of late, fueled both by advances in hardware and networking, and by novel concepts such as computational grids. However these frameworks are often inflexible, and force the application into a fixed environment rather than trying to adapt to the application’s needs. Harness is an experimental metacomputing framework based upon the principl...
