Adaptive grid computing
Juemin Zhang · 2010
Many innovative scientific applications rely on high-performance computing to perform large computations. Tomosynthesis Mammography, which performs high resolution image reconstruction, is one such computation-intensive application. Currently, it is difficult to launch MPI applications on multiple distributed and heterogeneous computing platforms, or computing grids, since application developers and users must address problems such as application scheduling, resource allocation and co-allocation, and inter-process communication. Our objective is to provide location-, topology-, and administrative-transparent grid computing for MPI applications, while hiding the physical details of computing platforms, and heterogeneous networks from the application developers and users.
