Programming high performance applications in grid environments
Domenico Laforenza · 2005
The need for realistic simulations of complex systems relevant to the modeling of several modern technologies and environmental phenomena increasingly stimulates the development of advanced computing approaches. Nowadays it is possible to cluster or couple a wide variety of resources including supercomputers, storage systems, data sources, and special classes of devices distributed geographically and use them as a single unified resource, thus forming what is popularly known as a “computational grid” [1,2].
