Coordination of a grid scheduler and optical network services


A new grid scheduling system was demonstrated at iGrid2005 held in San Diego, U.S.A. The system consists of a grid resource scheduler, computing and network resource management systems, computers at 6 sites in Japan and a network test-bed with the GMPLS protocol. Through a web services interface, the scheduling system in San Diego was able to reserve the resources in Japan and molecular dynamics calculations were performed successfully.
