Design and Implementation of a Grid Extension for Maple
Dana Petcu, Marcin Paprzycki, Diana Dubu · Scientific Programming · 2005
One of the important issues facing the development of the grid as a computational framework of the future is availability of grid‐enabled software. In this context, we discuss possible approaches to constructing a grid‐enabled version of a computer algebra system. Our case study involves Maple: the proposed Maple2g package allows the connection between Maple and the computational grids based on the Globus Toolkit. We present the design of the Maple2g package and follow with a detailed discussion of its implementation. Finally, we illustrate performance of Maple2g in a number of experiments.
