Abstract

Grid computing implies cooperation and sharing resources belonging to distributed machines. Users can send their tasks on remote computing resources instead of executing them locally. Subsequently, Tasks scheduling is an important problem in a grid.

In this work, we propose to realise a real Grid computing under the Middleware Unicore. We have developed a python application that computes matrix product to experiment our computing Grid. User’s applications are divided on several Tasks and then scheduled on the Grid to be executed. After that the Grid recovers the results and sends them to the user. We notice that when increasing the machines number, response time decreases significantly.
