MathGridLink - A bridge between Mathematica and "the Grid"
Dorin Ţepeneu, 哲雄 井田 · Medical Entomology and Zoology · 2003
Grid technology has emerged as a new solution in e-science and distributed computing. However, Mathematica, a widely used programming language for scientific computing, lacks support for integrating Grid services within its framework. In this paper we introduce MathGridLink, a new software component, currently under development by us, which extends the Grid to Mathematica. Unlike gridMathematica, MathGridLink provides full access to Grid services, regardless of the language the service is written in. MathGridLink makes not only possible to integrate any existing Grid service within Mathematica’s framework, but also to write and deploy new services from Mathematica. We believe that such an extension to Mathematica’s capabilities opens new ways for developing distributed computing systems.
