Abstract

Grid computing has now become the de facto standard for distributed computing and provides huge computing resources for high-performance scientific and engineering applications. Recent advantages of virtual computing technologies make it possible to efficiently employ computing resources on-demand. Distributed virtual machines (VMs) can help to build scalable, manageable and efficient Grid infrastructures. This paper is engaged to organize compact muon solenoid applications in virtual data system workflows and execute them on VMs in computational Grids. The work is implemented on VMware VMs. Test results are discussed and the performance is evaluated with comparison of related work. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
