Abstract

In this article we present a case study comparison of the implementation characteristics of two software environments that are well known in grid computing configurations. We evaluate the performance of these environments during the execution of distributed parallel MPI tasks. Therefore, first we consider some concepts of the grid paradigm and then we present a comparison between the two software environments. Our case study is based on the Globus and Legion environments, because these two research projects are in more developed stage when compared to others research initiatives. Our experimental results indicate that the grid computing approach can be interesting to execute distributed parallel MPI applications with a performance improvement.
