GRIA supported as middleware in g-Eclipse
The g-Eclipse platform now provides support for GRIA, as one of its Grid middlewares, alongside gLite and AWS.
In October 2007, IT Innovation joined the g-Eclipse Consortium in order to implement support for a second middleware, GRIA. The first release of g-Eclipse for GRIA 5.2 was the 1.0M2 release in January 2008. Since version 1.0M8, g-Eclipse now supports a wide range of GRIA capabilities including Data Management, Job Submission and Monitoring, via the common g-Eclipse user interfaces. Support for GRIA's sophisticated process-based access control (PBAC) system is also well underway, enabling delegation of access rights for Grid resources and services.
GRIA was integrated easily into g-Eclipse using GRIA's client API, proving that the g-Eclipse core architecture is middleware-independent and extensible. The generic, file system-like user interfaces hide the complexity of the underlying middlewares, providing the user with a common means of interacting with GRIA, gLite or even AWS services. Using g-Eclipse, data may be copied seamlessly between "files" on any of these middlewares, or to/from the local file system.
IT Innovation, through its work in projects such as SIMDAT, has been working with many different industrial sectors, such as aerospace, automotive and pharmaceutical industries, to produce Grid software for business. BAE systems have been using GRIA for several years, and are now actively involved in the g-Eclipse project, to provide industrially relevant Grid applications (e.g. the FLITE3D suite), to evaluate the g-Eclipse software and to steer its development for use in industry.
