The reason is difficulties of evaluation by large-scale benchmarks with reproducible results. Our Bricks performance evaluation system would allow analysis and comparison of various scheduling schemes on a typical high-performance global computing setting. Bricks can simulate various behaviors of global computing systems, especially the behavior of networks and resource scheduling algorithms. Moreover, Bricks is componentalized such that not only its constituents could be replaced to simulate various different system algorithms, but also allows incorporation of existing global computing components via its foreign interface. Ninflet NinfLet is a java based distributed computing framework.
Users can send their programs and execute it on servers provided by volunteer.
MatrixWorkshop Our MatrixWorkshop provides matrices in various sizes and characteristics for test and evaluation of numerical libraries. Collaboration with NetSolve Ninf and NetSolve are remote computing systems which are oriented to provide numerical computations. These two systems are very similar to each other in there design and motivation. We made adapters to enable each system to use numerical routines installed on the other system. We will show the design and implementation of the adapters.
