GridBus merges Grid technology with business requirementsMelbourne 12 August 2002 The Grid Computing and Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne in Audtralia has started an open source project, Gridbus, which focusses on developing technology that enables Grid computing and business.
The Grid Computing and Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Laboratory at the
University of Melbourne is actively engaged in the design and
development of next-generation parallel and distributed computing
systems and applications.
The Lab's new project is
called Gridbus. Gridbus develops technology that enables GRID computing and
BUSiness. The Gridbus project team is developing cluster and grid
technologies (middleware, tools, and applications) that deliver
end-to-end quality of services depending on user requirements. They
include Economic Grid Scheduler, Cluster Scheduler (Libra), Grid
modeling and simulation (GridSim), Data Grid broker, GridBank, and GUI tools for
workflow management and composition of distributed applications from
(legacy) software components.
The Gridbus scheduling system aggregates
or leases of services of distributed resources depending on their
availability, capability, performance, cost, and users
quality-of-service requirements.
The Gridbus project is sponsored by Sun Microsystems, the Victorian
Partnership for Advanced Computing, University of Melbourne, and
Australian Research Council.
Gridbus welcomes collaboration from indviduals
and organisations around the world. For further information,
please refer to the Gridbus Project home page: http://www.gridbus.org.
