4.2.1 DCI Compatibility
A wide range of different middleware types are supported by the DCI Bridge
(Table
4.1
). The number of supported DCI is growing constantly. So far the fol-
lowing DCI types are supported: service grids (gLite, GT2, GT4, GT5, ARC,
UNICORE), clusters (PBS, LSF, SGE, MOAB), BOINC desktop grids, clouds
(EC2, CloudBroker), web services, Google App Engine, GEMLCA, and local
resources. As future work the connection to XSEDE grid and DIRAC based DCIs is
planned.
