The
Virtual Grid runtime system enables applications to acquire appropriate
resources and adapt to changing distributed resource environments in pursuit of
a wide range of application-level properties (performance, fault tolerance,
etc.). The Virtual Grid runtime
system provides a simple interface to a large, complex resource environment,
relieving the application of the burden of understanding and managing it. Application needs and expectations are
described in a resource specification language which provide a simple
application abstraction for resource configuration and performance. This abstraction is used in the
realized resource configuration and is embodied in an explicit representation
(reified resource spec) for the applications to manipulate. The VGrADS Execution system is part of
the VGrADS
project led at
