ADAGE: Automatic Deployment of Applications in a Grid Environment |
Overview
ADAGE is a prototype middleware designed to automatically launch distributed or parallel applications on the resources of a computational grid. The middleware requires two pieces of information:
- a packaged, self-described application, and
- a description of the resources available in the grid.
The application to be deployed can be a CORBA component assembly or an MPICH-G2 parallel code. Resource description includes compute nodes and their characteristics (operating system, architecture, storage space, memory size, CPU speed and number, etc.) as well as network information (topology, performance characteristics). Using those two pieces of information, ADAGE automatically selects resources which will run the application and maps the application processes onto the selected resources. Finally it automatically launches the application processes remotely using the Globus Toolkit (version 2) as a grid access middleware, and initiates the application execution.
