CMSC 23340
Grid ComputingPrerequisites: Substantial programming experience.
Catalog Description: The new Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) defines interfaces and protocols that promise to make it far easier to construct decentralized, dynamic, large-scale systems. We explore and evaluate this technology by using it to develop a range of scalable distributed services. We use the Globus Toolkit, an open source implementation of key OGSA standards, to design and build services. We then evaluate our implementations from the perspectives of performance and programmability.
Instructors: Ian FosterQuarter offered: Winter. Not offered 2009-10; will be offered in 2010-11.
