What is Grid?

The "grid" often means "grid environment", which is a circumstance that multiple resources distributed over global network (WAN) are used simultaneously. Grid environment works as infrastructure for various activities using multiple resources over global network, such as computation using remote computers, tele-communication with friends over the Internet, and so on.

What is Grid computing?

"Grid computing" is one of the situations using grid, and it aimes at constructing large and high performance computation environment.

Why Grid computing?

In recent years, more and more high performance computers work in all over the world. Since, in grid computing, such computers will be used simultaneously, high computation performance will be achived with taking less costs than building a new supercomputer. So grid computing attracts attention as a next generation of efficient computational infrastructure for various science technologies.

Relis-G: Remote Library Install System for Computational Grids (Master Thesis)

When a grid user installs the library which is used by the GridRPC etc. to the servers distributed over a grid, the user needs to solve complicated and laborious problems, such as user's effort to input commands for remote operation, creation of an installation package of the library for heterogeneous server systems, avoidance of redundant compilation, and observance of administration policy of each server.

In order to enable the user to solve these problems easily, we propose the remote library install system, Relis-G, which is highly portable and multipurpose in the grid. Besides the function for automatic remote library installation, this system offers functions, such as automatic creation of an installation package, automatic avoidance of redundant compilation, and automatic observance of administration policy of each server. Moreover, we confirmed that this system mitigated the above-mentioned user's burden greatly by operation tests.
