GRMS seems not to be developped anymore. I read a 2006's paper
about the
version 2 (which includes connection to GT4) but I can only donwload
version 1.0.1. On the web site, www.gridge.org the last news is one
year
old.
We have had very good engagement from the developers on private e-
mail and are currently conducting a close comparison of GRMS (which
has some very nice features) and Gridway (which is in the process of
getting built more closely in to the newest versions of the GT). It
is currently a horse race, and I can't tell you the outcome. Each
has some nice features.
Grids do take some considerable thought regarding their software
infrastructure, deployment and development, so the "simple" grid you
are looking may not yet exist. In TIGRE, we have given it the good
college try, however, and are happy with our balance. I hope you
will enjoy looking at what we have developed at http://
tigreportal.hipcat.net (with details at the links given earlier) and
look forward to your comments. It is as close as we could come to
making a simple "drop-in" grid with simple system requirements and a
low-overhead structure. I would also like to hear from anyone else
who tries the TIGRE project stacks, which are about to receive an
update within a few weeks to the latest version of the VDT about to
be released (VDT 1.8.1).
The other components we've mentioned in this thread (grix and
associated tools from Australia, GRMS, etc.) are each actively
developed as far as I know, and might be worthwhile to investigate.
GRMS does include effectively a client deployment of the Java WS-Core
jar files in a nice pre-packaged form, by the way, and I have used
this as the basis for some simple Eclipse-based projects on my own.
Beyond this, I can suggest that you look at the very nice work of the
CaGrid project, including the "Introduce" tool they developed, which
is now available on its own as an Incubator project, and also look
closely at the other Incubator projects on dev.globus.org
Hope his helps and that we will soon see links to your other project
work, beyond the scripts you have already contributed!
