Title
The NRW-Metacomputer-Building Blocks for A Worldwide Computational Grid
Abstract
In this paper, we present the results of the NRW-Metacomputing task force, which has been working on the development of a countrywide metacomputer since 1996. The resulting installation is among the very few that are already operational, have full support for heterogeneous resources, contain a decent security model, and feature an advanced scheduling sub-system for the metacomputing environment. The NRW-Metacomputer has been implemented using modular software architecture. Hence, concepts and components of it can be re-used by others without the need of having to obtain the metacomputing-software as a whole. Furthermore, the NRW-Metacomputer already provides well-defined interfaces for linking the system with other metacomputing environments to form a truly global computational grid. Distinctive features of this system are its highly scalable and fault tolerant software architecture, its advanced resource planning mechanisms as well as an integration into a DCE/DFS environment.
