Abstract

Presents the results of the NRW-Metacomputing Taskforce, which has been working on the development of a (German) country-wide metacomputer since 1996. The resulting installation is among the very few that are already operational, have full support for heterogeneous resources, contain a decent security model and feature an advanced scheduling subsystem for the metacomputing environment. The NRW-Metacomputer has been implemented using a modular software architecture. Hence, its concepts and components can be re-used by others without the need to obtain the metacomputing software as a whole. Furthermore, the NRW-Metacomputer already provides well-defined interfaces for linking the system with other metacomputing environments to form a truly global computational grid. Distinctive features of this system are its highly scalable and fault-tolerant software architecture, its advanced resource planning mechanisms, as well as an integration into a DCE (Distributed Computing Environment)/DFS (Distributed File System) environment.

nrw -元计算机-全球计算网格的构建模块

介绍了北威州元计算工作组的成果，该工作组自1996年以来一直致力于开发(德国)全国性元计算机。最终的安装是少数几个已经可以运行、完全支持异构资源、包含良好的安全模型并具有用于元计算环境的高级调度子系统的安装之一。nrw -元计算机采用模块化软件架构实现。因此，它的概念和组件可以被其他人重用，而不需要获得整个元计算软件。此外，nrw -元计算机已经提供了定义良好的接口，将系统与其他元计算环境连接起来，形成一个真正的全球计算网格。该系统的显著特点是其高度可扩展和容错的软件架构，其先进的资源规划机制，以及与DCE(分布式计算环境)/DFS(分布式文件系统)环境的集成。
