Abstract

A Grid architecture is proposed that is motivated by the large-scale routing principles in the Internet to provide an extensible, high-performance, scalable, and secure Grid. Central to the proposed architecture is middleware called the Grid operating system (GridOS). This paper describes the components of the GridOS. The GridOS includes several novel ideas including (i) a flexible naming scheme called "Gridspaces", (ii) a service mobility protocol, and (iii) a highly decentralized Grid scheduling mechanism called the router-allocator.
