Abstract

Grid computing is a promising way to aggregate geographically distant machines and to allow them to work together to solve large problems. After studying Grid network requirements, we observe that the network must take part in the Grid computing session to provide intelligent adaptative transport of Grid data streams.By proposing new intelligent dynamic services, active network can easily and efficiently deploy and maintain Grid environments and applications. This paper presents the Active Grid Architecture (A-Grid)1 which focuses on active networks adaptation for supporting Grid middlewares and applications.We describe the architecture and first experiments of a dedicated execution environment dedicated to the Grid: Tamanoir-G.
