Abstract
One way to ease the development of Grid applications is to specify and design an Integrated Toolkit which will enable the development of Grid-unaware applications i.e. applications where the Grid is transparent to them but that are able to exploit its resources. Achieving this vision of an Integrated Toolkit requires the investigation and definition of integration between different systems. This paper studies the integration possibilities of GriCoL, a language for the description of complex Grid experiments, and GRID superscalar, a run-time environment which automatically converts sequential program code and deploys it for execution on a Grid. GriCoL operates on a multi-layer paradigm, using both a control flow layer and a data flow layer. We propose integration with GRID superscalar at each of these layers, concluded that integration at the control flow level is difficult to achieve but at the data flow level is possible.
