The modular architecture of the SESIS system together with a Grid interface
This Business Experiment added support for the middlewares UNICORE and
GTK4 to SESIS. For the Grid integration, a client side support implementation for
the following areas were developed:
• System related: Authentication and Resource Discovery
• Job related: Submission
• Data management related: File Input/Output and Transfer
A graphical user interface enables the engineer to configure FDS (Fire Dynamics
Simulator) jobs before submitting them to a remote server, owned and operated by
T-Systems. The Grid protocols are based on the middlewares Globus GTK4 and
UNICORE.
A Service Level Agreement regulates the allocation of hardware and software
resources to guarantee reliable Quality of Service and also determines the prices for
these services. After job execution, the simulation results are transmitted back to the
engineer's desktop for analysis and evaluation.
