SAGA: A standardized access layer to heterogeneous Distributed Computing Infrastructure
André Merzky, Ole Weidner, Shantenu Jha · SoftwareX · 2015
Distributed Computing Infrastructure is characterized by interfaces that are heterogeneous—syntactically and semantically. SAGA represents the most comprehensive community effort to date to address the heterogeneity by defining a simple, uniform access layer. In this paper, we describe the basic concepts underpinning its design and development. We also discuss RADICAL-SAGA which is the most widely used implementation of SAGA.
