“…Many of these projects are motivated by large-scale scientific projects that will involve the production and analysis of data at an unprecedented scale. One frequently cited such large-scale scientific project is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments [11] at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), which began data production in 2008. The volume of data generated by these experiments is in the petabyte (PB) range, for distribution to physicists around the world for analysis.…”

“…Two pioneering Grid efforts in Europe, started in early 2001, were the United Kingdom (UK)'s e-Science program [5] and the European Union (EU)-funded Data Grid project [11]. The latter was succeeded by the EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) project, which aims to create a Grid infrastructure available to scientists and to develop robust middleware for application deployment.…”

Grid is an infrastructure that involves the integrated and collaborative use of computers, networks, databases and scientific instruments owned and managed by multiple organizations. Grid applications often involve large amounts of data and/or computing resources that require secure resource sharing across organizational boundaries. This makes Grid application management and deployment a complex undertaking. Grid middlewares provide users with seamless computing ability and uniform access to resources in the heterogeneous Grid environment. Several software toolkits and systems have been developed, most of which are results of academic research projects, all over the world. This chapter will focus on four of these middlewares-UNICORE, Globus, Legion and Gridbus. It also presents our implementation of a resource broker for UNICORE as this functionality was not supported in it. A comparison of these systems on the basis of the architecture, implementation model and several other features is included.

“…For example, the scale of the next generation Large Hadron Collider project at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, motivated the construction of the European Data Grid (EDG) [2], which is a global software infrastructure that ties together a massive set of people and computing resources spread over hundreds of laboratories and university departments. This includes thousands of network services, tens of thousands of CPUs, WAN Gigabit networking as well as Petabytes of disk and tape storage [3].…”
