Grid Superscalar Enabled P-Grade Portal

  • Chapter
Integrated Research in GRID Computing

Abstract

One of the current challenges of the Grid scientific community is to provide efficient and user-friendly programming tools. GRID superscalar allows programmers to write their Grid applications as sequential programs. However, on execution, a task-dependence graph is built and the inherent concurrency of the task is exploited and executed in a Grid. P-GRADE Portal is a workflow-oriented grid portal with the main goal to cover the whole lifecycle of workflow-oriented computational grid applications. In this paper the authors discuss the different options taken into account to integrate these two frameworks.
