Abstract

In this paper, a new multipurpose Lightweight Grid (LWG) system is introduced, under the acronym Computational Basic Reprogrammable Adaptive (CoBRA) grid. It provides the functionality grid users require, and offers grid developers the opportunity to test and alter grid components while the grid is in use. The grid was proven to operate properly by testing several applications and introducing new components. Its performance was tested by the 'sleep testing technique', and by implementing a quantum physics calculation. The user friendliness was also evaluated with the latter distributed computational problem. The possibility to port the system onto well-established systems like CONDOR and Globus is also discussed.
