Abstract

In the last years many institutions have provided themselves with cluster and Grid infrastructures either for intensive computation or research objectives Each infrastructure having its own and different management operating software the integration of different platforms becomes a hard and complicated task Solving the interoperability problem for a set of different computing infrastructures belonging to our institution in order to solve a computation intensive problem was our objective The paper describes the solution that was applied and the experimental results obtained The solution uses a platform based on a central bus shared by the involved system components for information exchange In order to ensure that all computations will succeed the solution includes cloud infrastructures to deal with situations in which the local computing resources pose some problems Also a cloud based solution for the bus deployment is explored and empirically compared with a local deployment
