A Grid Architecture for Scalable e-Science and Its Prototype
Lican Huang · Journal of Software · 2005
This paper presents an e-Science Grid architecture called Virtual and Dynamic Hierarchical Architecture (VDHA).VDHA is a decentralized architecture with some P2P properties.It also has scalable, autonomous, exact, and full service discovery properties.We have implemented a demonstration VDHA_based Grid prototype VDHA_Grid, which has scalable Grid information service.VDHA_Grid is the core software for the project of the Chinese University e-Science Grid.In this paper, advantages and several protocols of the VDHA are also discussed.
