enable existing applications for Grid
Quoted from
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/grid/library/gr-enable4/
Let's summarize the six strategies:
Strategy 1 | Batch Anywhere | The application can run as a single job on any of many computers in a grid. |
Strategy 2 | Independent Concurrent Batch | Multiple independent instances of the application can be running concurrently. |
Strategy 3 | Parallel Batch | The work of a batch program is subdivided so that multiple independent program instances can each work on part of the job in parallel. |
Strategy 4 | Service | A program becomes a service subroutine callable by a client through some grid middleware. |
Strategy 5 | Parallel Service | A program becomes multiple instances of a service subroutine callable in parallel by a client through some grid middleware. |
Strategy 6 | Tightly Coupled Parallel Programs | These specialized programs require, and are designed from the start for, intense tightly coupled parallel processing. |
