Grid Programming
SAGA
Gridforum Nederland en Internet Society organiseren samen op 26 oktober 2006 een masterclass over The Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA) met Andre Merzky en Thilo Kielmann. Merzky en Kielmann maken beiden sinds 2005 deel uit van de GFSG, het college binnen het internationale Open Grid Forum (voorheen: Global Grid Forum en Enterprise Grid Alliance) dat alle onderzoeksgebieden en werkgroepen coordineert. De workshop gaat over de snelle ontwikkelingen op het gebied van zg. Grid API's, ofwel: hoe applicaties op een gestandaardiseerde, eenvoudige manier met grids kunnen praten.
Inhoud van de masterclass
Grid middleware is both maturing and becoming more widely deployed.
Still, there are only few real-world applications being deployed on
a regular basis. One important reason for this is the lack of a
suitable programming interface (API) for such applications, that is
simple, stable, and available across the major middleware systems like
Globus, G-Lite, or Unicore.
Within the Open Grid Forum (OGF), such an API is currently being
standardized. The Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA) strives to be
simple by addressing the needs of applications (only), while being
independent and thus uniform and stable across the different grid
middleware systems and their versions. It hides several intricate aspects
of grid environments from the end user, such as complexity, heterogenity
and dynamicity of grid platforms.
This masterclass will give insight in the design of Grid APIs in general,
and will, in a tutorial style, provide an introduction into the use of the
SAGA API.
