Towards Hybrid Grid Infrastructure for Large Simulations
Dan Chen, Congcong Bian · 2009
The last decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in technology of large simulation with the rapid growth of both the complexity and the scale of problem domains. A variety of techniques have been developed for fostering large simulations over the Internet. Along this direction, existing work normally only suit for coarse-grained models. In this paper, we present a hybrid grid infrastructure which applies to both coarse-grained and fine-grained models. A gateway approach has been proposed to present simulation models of an individual administrative domain for fine-grained problems, and it also bridges simulation models operating in multiple administrative domains to form large simulations for studying problems of different grains. A prototype infrastructure has been realized with the support of federated simulation technology.
