Abstract

Grid computing technology improves the computing experiences at organizations by effectively integrating distributed computing resources. However, just a small fraction of currently available Grid infrastructures focuses on reutilization of existing commodity computing resources. This paper introduces InteGrade, a novel object-oriented middleware Grid infrastructure that focuses on leveraging the idle computing power of shared desktop machines. Its features include support for a wide range of parallel applications and mechanisms to assure that the owners of shared resources do not perceive any loss in the quality of service. A prototype implementation is under construction and the current version is available for download. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
