Abstract
Computational Grids are foreseen to be one of the most critical yet challenging technologies to meet the exponentially growing demands for high-performance computing in a large variety of scientific disciplines. Most of these grid applications imply multiple participants and, in many cases, make an intensive usage of data distribution and collective operations. In this paper, we propose a multicast framework consisting of an active reliable protocol with specialized active services located at the edges of the core network for providing low-latency and low-overhead multicast transfers on computational grid.
This work is supported in part by the french ACI Grid program and by a grant from ANVAR-EZUS Lyon.
