Abstract
One of the main goals of the CrossGrid Project [1] is to provide explicit support to parallel and interactive compute- and data- intensive applications. The CrossBroker job manager provides services as part of the CrossGrid middleware and allows execution of parallel MPI applications on Grid resources in a transparent and automatic way. This document describes the design and implementation of the key components responsible for an efficient and reliable execution of MPI jobs splitted over multiple Grid sites, executed either in an on-line or batch manner. We also provide details on the overheads introduced by our system, as well as an experimental study showing that our system is well-suited for embarrassingly parallel applications.
This work was made in the frame of the ”int-eu.grid” project (sponsored by the European Union), and supported by the MEyC-Spain under contract TIN 2004-03388, and partially supported by the NATO under contract EST.EAP.CLG 981032.
