Grid - golemfactory/golem-rd GitHub Wiki

From wikipedia:

Grid computing is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. Golem can be seen as a form of grid.

  • OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture) - a standard describin service-oriented architecture for grid computing environment for busines sand scientific use:
    • communication via HTTP
    • calls via SOAP
    • interfaces defined via WSDL
  • JSDL (Job Submission Description Language) - task description language based on XML. JSDL specification
  • GridRPC - RPC API for grid environments

Some Grid solutions:

  • NEOS
  • @home
  • BOINC
  • Condore
  • Unicore - graphical interface for task scheduling, interface plugins for ready applications, Java implementation, tasks may be defined as acyclig directed graph with conditional loops.
  • EuroGrid - implementation of Unicore grids
  • Globus Toolkit - full OGSA implementation, used in Large Hadron Collider
  • GRIP - Globus Toolkit and Unicore integration
  • NetSolve
  • Ninf
