Preve, Nikolaos P.
Grid Computing Towards a Global Interconnected Infrastructure / [electronic resource] : edited by Nikolaos P. Preve. - XVI, 312 p. online resource. - Computer Communications and Networks, 1617-7975 .
Part I: E-Science, Applications, & Optimization -- Leveraging the Grid for e-Science -- Supporting e-Science Applications on e-Infrastructure -- GEMS -- Performance Analysis and Optimization of Linear Workflows in Heterogeneous Network Environments -- Part II: Resource Management, Allocation, & Monitoring -- Resource Management and Service Deployment in Grids -- Social Grid Agents -- Monitoring and Controlling Grid Systems -- Part III: Grid Services & Middleware -- Service Level Agreement for Job Control in Grid and High-Performance Computing -- Composable Services Architectures for Grids -- Phoenix -- Part IV: Grid Computing & Scientific Problems -- State-of-art with PhyloGrid -- The Usage of the Grid in the Simulation of the Comet Oort-Cloud Formation.
Grid computing provides a mechanism for integrating, coordinating, and sharing heterogeneous computer resources. This continually evolving field now aims to completely disaggregate current computer platforms and distribute them across a network as resources that can be called into action by any eligible user or machine at any time. This accessible and broad-ranging text/reference presents valuable research and results from many of the major projects involved in the emerging global grid infrastructure. With a particular focus on the practical advantages and applications of grid computing – including real case studies – the book provides an in-depth study of grid technology for a wide range of different needs. Topics and features: Presents contributions from an international selection of experts in the field Provides summarizing abstracts and conclusions for each chapter Examines a remote instrumentation infrastructure, and a methodology to support e-science applications on e-infrastructures Describes the GEMS storage system, and pipeline workflows for optimizing end-to-end performance in wide-area networks Investigates semantic grid system architecture, social grid agents, and monitoring platforms designed for large-scale distributed systems Explores job control using service-level agreements Introduces the Composable Services Architecture for dynamic service provisioning, and the semantically driven communication middleware platform, Phoenix Discusses the PhyloGrid application, and a numerical simulation performed using grid computing The deep insights that can be gleaned from the text make it a highly useful tool for researchers and professionals alike. Graduate students will also benefit from the extensive analysis on currently available grid systems.
