GridWay
From Globus
The GridWay Metascheduler is a Globus project that gives end users, application developers and managers of Globus infrastructures a scheduling functionality similar to that found on local DRM (Distributed Resource Management) systems:
- Advanced scheduling capabilities on a grid consisting of Globus services: dynamic discovery & selection, opportunistic migration, performance slowdown detection, support for self-adaptive applications and support for the definition of new scheduling policies
- Detection and recovery from remote and local failure situations
- DRM-like commands to submit, monitor, synchronize and control single, array and interdependent jobs; monitor Globus resources and users; and extract Grid accounting information
- Full support for C and JAVA DRMAA GGF standard for the development of distributed applications on Globus services
- Straightforward deployment that does not require new services apart from those provided by the Globus Toolkit: MDS, GRAM, GridFTP and RFT
- Modular architecture that allows an easy incorporation of new grid services and interoperability between different grid infrastructures
