Abstract

Recent advances in grid infrastructure and middleware development have enabled various types of applications in science and engineering to be deployed on the grid. The characteristics of these applications and the diverse infrastructure and middleware solutions developed, utilized or adapted by PRAGMA member institutes are summarized. The applications include those for climate modeling, computational chemistry, bioinformatics and computational genomics, remote control of instruments, and distributed databases. Many of the applications are deployed to the PRAGMA grid testbed in routine basis experiments. Strategies for deploying applications without modifications, and those taking advantage of new programming models on the grid are explored and valuable lessons learned are reported. Comprehensive end to end solutions from PRAGMA member institutes that provide important grid middleware components and generalized models of integrating applications and instruments on the grid are also described.
