| Abstract |
We present Grid
services and tools developed in the
EU GridLab project. All GridLab
technologies fit into the GridLab
architecture which defines a
cleanly layered environment. On the
highest layer (called User Space)
there is s GAT (Application oriented
high level API to complex and dynamic
Grid
Environments) and GridSphere
(Grid-Portal development framework).The Middleware layer (called
Capability Space) covers the whole range of Grid capabilities as required
by applications, users and administrators, such as GRMS (Grid
Resource Management and Brokering Service), Data Access and
Management (Grid Services for data
management and access), GAS (Grid
Authorization Service), iGrid
(GridLab Information Services),
Delphoi (Grid
Network Monitoring & Performance
Prediction Service), Mercury (Grid
Monitoring infrastructure),
Visualization (Grid Data and
Visualization
Services), and Mobile Services (Grid
Services supporting wireless
technologies). GridLab technologies
help real end-users to develop and
run their
Grid-enabled applications. We have
been testing our solutions with Cactus (Framework for scientific
numerical simulations) and Triana
(Visual
workflow-oriented data analysis
environment). |
