This article describes the implementation of checkpointing and recovery services in a Java-based distributed platform. Our case study is suma, a distributed execution platform implemented on top of Grid services. suma has been designed for execution of Java bytecode, with additional support for parallel processing. suma middleware is built on top of commodity software and communication technolo...

The Grid Services Base Library (GSBL) is a procedural application programming interface (API) that abstracts many of the high-level functions performed by Globus Grid services, thus dramatically lowering the barriers to writing Grid services. The library has been extensively tested and used for computational biology research in a Globus Toolkit-based Grid system, in which no fewer than twenty G...

The effect of unilateral intrapallidal cannabinoid receptor stimulation on rotational behavior in rats was explored. The potent cannabinoid agonist CP55,940 (5 microg/0.5 microl) induced ipsilateral turning when microinjected unilaterally into the globus pallidus. The D2 dopamine agonist quinpirole reversed this ipsilateral rotation but failed to affect motor behavior on its own. Finally, the D...

Globus autorstwa Johannesa Deura (1667–1734) z Amsterdamu, znajdujący się w kolekcji Muzeum UJ jest egzemplarzem unikatowym. Na świecie zachowały tylko trzy takie dzieła. Powstał na przełomie wieków XVII i XVIII Amsterdamie. Jest przykładem globusa kieszonkowego, zaliczanego do miniaturowych. Analizowano stan zachowania obiektu, jego konstrukcję, mapę nieba Ziemi. Pozwoliło to zadatowanie obiek...

A Monte Carlo based method due to Mishin [1] for obtaining activation energies for ionic transport processes has been implemented for empirical-potential models and used in conjunction with Condor and Globus tools. Results are shown for Na migrating in quartz, and O vacancy hopping in CaTiO3. We also describe the extensions at the Condor/Globus interface we found necessary to implement in order...

GridFTP is a high-performance, secure, reliable data transfer protocol optimized for high-bandwidth wide-area networks. It is based on the Internet FTP protocol, and it defines extensions for high-performance operation and security. The Globus implementation of GridFTP provides a software suite optimized for the gamut of data access issues—from bulk file transfer to the details of getting data ...

The PanDA Workload Management System is the basis for distributed production and analysis for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. In this role, it relies on sophisticated dynamic data movement facilities developed in ATLAS. In certain scenarios, such as small research teams in ATLAS Tier-3 sites and non-ATLAS Virtual Organizations, the overhead of installation and operation of these components mak...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery has become increasingly utilized in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease. Over the past decade, a number of studies have demonstrated that DBS is superior to best medical management in appropriately selected patients. The primary targets for DBS in Parkinson's disease include the subthalamic nucleus and the internal segment of the globus pallidus, b...
