Abstract:
The term "the Grid" was coined in the mid 1990s to denote a proposed
distributed computing infrastructure for advanced science and engineering. Less
than five years later, it feels as if "the Grid" is everywhere -- grid
related research and development projects are popping-up all over the globe. They
come in different sizes and scopes: some are small, others are international;
some focus on pure computer science problems, while others are interdisciplinary.
We will present our perspective of this recent wave of Grid-driven activities
and how it relates to our ongoing work in the area of High Throughput distributed
computing. The talk is based on our decade-long experience with the Condor high
throughput computing system. We will discuss the challenges clients of Grid resources
face in harnessing the power of these resources and outline the design principals
and capabilities of our client tools. Our tools are designed to meet the needs
of large Master Worker applications and to leverage the capabilities of the Condor-G
job manager.
