A portal for visualizing Grid usage
Gregor von Laszewski, Jonathan DiCarlo, Bill Allcock · Concurrency and Computation Practice and Experience · 2007
Abstract We introduce a framework for measuring the use of Grid services and exposing simple summary data to an authorized set of Grid users through a JSR168‐enabled portal. The sensor framework has been integrated into the Globus Toolkit and allows Grid administrators to have access to a mechanism helping with report and usage statistics. Although the original focus was the reporting of actions in relationship to GridFTP services, the usage service has been expanded to report also on the use of other Grid services.
