Possible Services in a Java Computing Framework - I
Grande Resource Discovery, Allocation and Scheduling
- Recent JINI Sun technology looks attractive
We are defining methods and properties of computers and programs viewed as distributed objects
- Thus we are inevitability defining a CORBA facility for computing
Compiling, Executing, Specification of features needed for execution optimization
- This includes parameters needed by MPI/HPF decompositions such as number of processors
- Resource Management and Scheduling jobs as in Codine or LSF or commercial NT environments
Accounting -- integrate with Web commerce technology?
Authentication, Security (especially hard in metacomputing as link several different management policies)
- Public Key Infrastructure expected from Internet commerce very important
