Abstract

In these years, grid computing is probably the most promising approach for building large scale and cost effective applications. However, this very popular approach needs a sophisticated software infrastructure to address several requirements. One of these requirements is the ability to sustain a predictable performance in front to the fluctuations related to the dynamic nature of a grid. In this paper we describe design and realization of a Performance Contract System, a software infrastructure that manages the computational kernel of a grid application with the aim to face such aspect of the grid computing, as well as the strategies and the experiences to integrate it in a grid-enabling component-based programming environment still under development.

This work has been partially supported by Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) within the activities of the WP9 workpackage “Grid Enabled Scientific Libraries” , coordinated by A. Murli, part of the MIUR FIRB RBNE01KNFP Grid.it project “Enabling Platforms for High-Performance Computational Grids Oriented to Scalable Virtual Organizations”.
