Wide-Area, Heterogeneous, Distributed Computing: Toward Computational Grids

Abstract

This document provides an overview of recent developments in several important aspects of wide area, heterogeneous, distributed computing, including information on affordable, high performance, commodity computing clusters, a building block of computational grids. Workload management software (WMS), another building block, is also discussed, and leading WMS packages are identified and described. Application of agent based programming models to computational grid development is also covered.
