Production grids have a potential for parallel execution of a very large number of tasks but also introduce a high overhead that significantly impacts the execution of short task...
Computational web portals provide uniform access to remote computational resources--hardware, software, and data--by hiding the complexity of the heterogeneous, distributed, high ...
This paper explores how software developers debug integrated systems, where they have little or no access to the source code of the third-party software the system is composed of....
Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
Grid workflow can be defined as the composition of grid application services which execute on heterogeneous and distributed resources in a well-defined order to accomplish a speci...
