Overview of the Basic Application Services
The GRIA Basic Application Services package provides the core functionality for job and data management. It consists of:
- A Data Service
- This allows remote users to upload and download data files to the service provider, and to transfer data between Data Services hosted by different service providers. The Data Service also supports management of access rights (for read or read-write access) granted to other users or service providers.
- A Job Service
- This allows remote users to start, monitor or kill computational jobs, executed by the service provider. The Job Service will fetch input from and write output to a local Data Service. The Job Service can be configured to support multiple applications, which are chosen by the service provider.
The application services can be configured to be either unmanaged (free) or managed by the GRIA Service Provider Management package, as in the diagram below.
