Abstract
This paper presents a way to build a computational Grid for PVM programs. The Grid applies Jini to handle the dynamically changing set of participants, and to make the communication between Grid-clients and Grid-machines possible. In case of a PVM-Grid the grid-resources are Parallel Virtual Machines. Our system provides a high-level interface for them, which through the users can submit their locally compiled PVM-programs. Our Grid-implementation gives support for run-time monitoring of the submitted PVM-programs as well. To achieve this functionality, clients have to use in their PVM source codes the Instrumentation API developed by SZTAKI.
The work presented in this paper was supported by the Ministry of Education under No. IKTA5-089/2002 and the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund No. T042459.
