Abstract
Methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for providing access to a grid computing environment. In one environment, requests include resource specific criteria used to identify a particular grid resource to perform the request. In another embodiment, a request includes a queue criterion used to identify one of a plurality of queues on which the request is placed.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method of providing access to a plurality of grid computing resources available to a plurality of users, comprising:
- receiving, from a requesting entity, a request containing (i) a specification of a function to be performed and (ii) a resource specific criterion comprising one or more hardware or software parameters;
- identifying, from the plurality of grid computing resources, one or more specific grid computing resources that satisfy the one or more hardware or software parameters of the resource specific criterion;
- and
- routing the request, by use of at least one computer processor, to the identified one or more specific grid computing resources.
A computer-readable storage medium containing a program, which, when executed by a computer performs an operation for providing access to a plurality of grid computing resources available to a plurality of users, comprising:
- receiving, from a requesting entity, a request containing (i) a specification of a function to be performed and (ii) a resource specific criterion comprising one or more hardware or software parameters;
- identifying, from the plurality of grid computing resources, one or more specific grid computing resources that satisfy the one or more hardware or software parameters of the resource specific criterion;
- and
- routing the request, by use of at least one computer processor, to the identified one or more specific grid computing resources.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory containing a program, which, when executed by the processor, is configured to provide access to a plurality of grid computing resources available to a plurality of users by performing the steps of:
- receiving, from a requesting entity, a request containing (i) a specification of a function to be performed and (ii) a resource specific criterion comprising one or more hardware or software parameters;
- identifying, from the plurality of grid computing resources, one or more specific grid computing resources that satisfy the one or more hardware or software parameters of the resource specific criterion;
- and
- routing the request, by use of at least one computer processor, to the identified one or more specific grid computing resources.
