Therefore, it would be beneficial if the user could provide the runtime environment and thus pose less complex requirements for the computing center. The computing center...

Following the Desktop Grid session at EGI UF in Vilnius which had its focus more on applications, we now propose a session that focuses more on the infrastructure. How can you connect Desktop Grids into EGI infrastructures. We will show howto's for gLite, based on long time experiences.
In addition the EDGI project, the organiser of this session has also build a bridge between Arc based...

A large number of research teams creates and runs workflows to support their applications. There are two key players in this process: e-scientists who use workflows and workflow developers who create workflows. Elaborating a workflow may require significant efforts and specific expertise. Workflow developers have to be familiar with both the research area which they address and workflow...

The work of the Earth Science(ES)activity of EGI-InSPIRE SA3 is devoted to ES data access. The activity is investigating and following the development of specialized data access and management methods in the area of Earth Science. Since Grid Infrastructures have been exploited by ES, methods of how running jobs can access data, stored outside of the infrastructure, have been discussed. The...

During the last few years, interest has gradually shifted from Grid to Cloud Computing.
Grid computing is better suited for organizations with large amounts of data being analysed by a small number of users, or few but large allocation requests, whereas Cloud computing is better suited to environments where there is a large number of users requesting small amounts of data, or many but small...

Distributed Grid Accounting System (DGAS) is a distributed tool for the implementation of national Grid accounting infrastructures. It is responsible for collecting and storing usage records (URs) for computing and storage. Sensors are installed on the Computing Elements (CEs) to collect computing accounting information and convert them into URs. Storage accounting's URs are generated by...

Grids are now a commonplace for advanced computing applications. In our approach,the grid-enablement of simulation scenarios is carried out with the GridSFEA framework. The end-user can perform operations such as submitting computations to the grid, searching for a specific scenario on the grid, or previewing the results of a simulation without having to download large data sets to his...

Monte Carlo (MC) applications are inherently parallel and computationally-bound. In a distributed computing infrastructure, once MC application is initiated, it can be usually executed independently, i.e. with almost no interprocess communication. Such behavior allows for a usage of any kind of computing resources, but requires an integrated framework to simplify application management, and...
