Greetings GT community,
Suppose that a pool of computers are able to donate their idle CPU
time, how can a problem (i.e. an piece of code) get executed in them
in a distributed manner?
For example, when I use the command globus-job-submit, or
globus-job-run, how will my local machine know where should these jobs
to be submitted?
I'm expecting that every resource should register itself to a
discovery data base (service) that is hosted on a server(s). And that
grid users (e.g. programmers/researchers) submit problems, they submit
it somewhere that will dispatch them to multiple resources (CPU
donators) according to a scheduler and an execution management plan
that decies what to do in case of a failure.
However, I fail to see how the above thoughts map to GT5 after
following my reading of the quick start guide in
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.2/5.2.2/admin/quickstart/ -- what
is in the guide is pretty controlled by the user/programmer (e.g. he
specifies which computer to execute which commands on).
Rgrds,J
