商品描述

Designed for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students, Grid Computing: Techniques and Applications shows professors how to teach this subject in a practical way. Extensively classroom-tested, it covers job submission and scheduling, Grid security, Grid computing services and software tools, graphical user interfaces, workflow editors, and Grid-enabling applications.

The book begins with an introduction that discusses the use of a Grid computing Web-based portal. It then examines the underlying action of job submission using a command-line interface and the use of a job scheduler. After describing both general Internet security techniques and specific security mechanisms developed for Grid computing, the author focuses on Web services technologies and how they are adopted for Grid computing. He also discusses the advantages of using a graphical user interface over a command-line interface and presents a graphical workflow editor that enables users to compose sequences of computational tasks visually using a simple drag-and-drop interface. The final chapter explains how to deploy applications on a Grid.

The Grid computing platform offers much more than simply running an application at a remote site. It also enables multiple, geographically distributed computers to collectively obtain increased speed and fault tolerance. Illustrating this kind of resource discovery, this practical text encompasses the varied and interconnected aspects of Grid computing, including how to design a system infrastructure and Grid portal.

Supplemental Web Resources
The author’s Web site offers various instructional resources, including slides and links to software for programming assignments. Many of these assignments do not require access to a Grid platform. Instead, the author provides step-by-step instructions for installing open-source software to deploy and test Web and Grid services, a Grid computing workflow editor to design and test workflows, and a Grid computing portal to deploy portlets.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《Grid Computing: Techniques and Applications》是為高年級本科生和研究生一年級學生設計的教材,旨在向教授們展示如何以實用的方式教授這門課程。經過廣泛的課堂測試,本書涵蓋了工作提交和調度、Grid安全、Grid計算服務和軟件工具、圖形用戶界面、工作流編輯器和Grid應用等內容。

本書首先介紹了使用Grid計算基於Web的門戶的使用。然後,它探討了使用命令行界面進行工作提交的基本操作和作業調度的使用。在描述了一般的互聯網安全技術和專為Grid計算開發的特定安全機制之後,作者專注於Web服務技術以及它們在Grid計算中的應用。他還討論了使用圖形用戶界面而不是命令行界面的優點,並提供了一個圖形工作流編輯器,使用戶可以使用簡單的拖放界面直觀地組合計算任務的序列。最後一章解釋了如何在Grid上部署應用程序。

Grid計算平台不僅僅是在遠程站點運行應用程序,還可以使多個地理分佈的計算機共同獲得更高的速度和容錯能力。本實用教材通過展示這種資源發現的方式,涵蓋了Grid計算的各種相關方面,包括如何設計系統基礎設施和Grid門戶。

作者的網站提供了各種教學資源,包括幻燈片和軟件連結,用於編程作業。其中許多作業不需要訪問Grid平台。相反,作者提供了逐步指南,以安裝開源軟件來部署和測試Web和Grid服務,以及一個Grid計算工作流編輯器來設計和測試工作流,以及一個Grid計算門戶來部署Portlets。
