Monitoring for multi-middleware grid
Gevorg S. Poghosyan, M. Kunze · Proceedings - IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium · 2008
Within the framework of the German Grid Computing Initiative (D-Grid), we study the monitoring systems and software suites that are used to collect the information from computational grids working with single or multiple middleware systems. Based on these investigations we build the prototypes of monitoring systems and implement it in the D-Grid infrastructure. A concept of Site Check Center (SCC) suggested to providing a unified interface for access to data from different test-benchmark systems working with more than one middleware software. A Vertical hierarchal architecture for exchange of information and building the network of monitoring systems is suggested and employed. A concept for separation between consumer and resource/service provider related monitoring information is proposed. Furthermore, we study the integration of monitoring components into general computational multi-middleware grid infrastructure developed according to specific community needs.
