Monitoring the EGEE/WLCG grid services
Alexandre Duarte, Piotr Nyczyk, Antonio Retico, D. Vicinanza · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2008
Grids have the potential to revolutionise computing by providing ubiquitous, on demand access to computational services and resources. They promise to allow for on demand access and composition of computational services provided by multiple independent sources. Grids can also provide unprecedented levels of parallelism for high-performance applications. On the other hand, grid characteristics, such as high heterogeneity, complexity and distribution create many new technical challenges.
