The Globus system is intended to achieve a vertically integrated treatment of application,
middleware, and net work. A low-level toolkit provides basic mechanisms such as …

In this introductory chapter, we lay the groundwork for the rest of the book by providing a
more detailed picture of the expected purpose, shape, and architecture of future grid …

" From P2P to Web Servicesnbsp; and Grids" nbsp; provides a comprehensive overview of
emerging distributed-systems technologies. It covers peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, which …

Modern networked computing environments and applications often require—or can benefit
from—the use of multiple communication substrates, transport mechanisms, and protocols …

We describe a software infrastructure designed to support the development of applications
that use high‐speed networks to connect geographically distributed supercomputers …

Applications that use high-speed networks to connect geographically distributed
supercomputers, databases, and scientific instruments may operate over open networks and …

We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate low and mid
range computing systems, advanced networks, and remote high end computers with the …

In this work, we demonstrate the power of providing a common set of operating system
services to Grid Architectures, including high-performance I/O, communication, resource …

We describe dynamic computation migration, the runtime choice between computation and
data migration. Dynamic computation migration is useful for concurrent data structures with …

Metacomputing systems use high-speed networks to connect supercomputers, mass storage
systems, scientific instruments, and display devices with the objective of enabling parallel …
