Interactive Grid Architecture for Application Service Providers

Tags:
asps

Overview This paper presents our Interactive Grid architecture for Application Service Providers (I-GASP). It envisions IGASP as a solution for making computers available primarily for interactive use in a grid computing environment. A user might access such a computer for running diverse applications such as graphics rendering, scientific visualization or mechanical CAD. I-GASP consists of a grid middleware for provisioning these computers, remote display technology that goes across firewalls and several techniques for making the computers suitable for use in a grid environment, namely controlled shell and desktop, dynamic accounts, admission control, and monitoring and management agents.
