Abstract
Grid technology changes the scientific computing mode. In our computational program reuse framework, scientists only need to specify which computational service to use and provide the location of raw data and computing results. All the other works are done automatically. “A computational service” is the key concept that is an abstract of multiple programs that realize the same function. This paper introduces the technical problems and solutions in this area which consist of program reuse mechanism, detailed information getting, computing resource decision, running environment preparation and restoration, remote program starting up and management. The information service tool and the resource management tool of Globus Toolkit provide supports to some problems. The last part of the paper discusses our understanding to grid scientific computation and the predicted works.
