EPCC-SS-2000-11 Investigating Globus and Grid Technologies

A new class of advanced network-based applications is emerging, distinguished from today’s Web browsers and other standard Internet applications by a coordinated use of not only networks but also endsystem computers, data archives, various sensors, and advanced human computer interfaces. These applications require services not provided by today’s Internet and Web: they need a "Grid" that both integrates new types of resource into the network fabric and provides enhanced "middleware" services such as quality of service within the fabric itself. Clearly, design and operation issues associated with implementing the Grid will differ in many ways from those involved in the design of conventional networks. This project investigates various Grid-related technologies and packages, evaluates them, and suggests ways of improving their current functionality.
