Abstract
This paper presents a “gridifying” process for aerodynamic wing design as a case study of complex engineering design problems. In order to assist engineers and scientists to solve the problems on the Grid environment effectively, we developed an API based on GridRPC, a Remote Procedure Call standard interface for Grid-enabled applications. In this work, we also provide mechanisms to reduce communication cost and schedule GridRPC requests across multiple clusters on the Grid. These facilities are incorporated in our GridRPC API implementation.
