T1  - Gridmake : the missing link for compilation in the Grid
N2  - In order to take full advantage of Grid environments, applications need to be able to run on various heterogeneous platforms. Distributed runs across several clusters or supercomputers for example, require matching binaries at each site. Thus, at some stage, each Grid enabled application needs to be recompiled for every platform. Up to now, creating matching binaries on different platforms was a manual, sequential, slow, and very error-prone process. Developers had to log into each machine, transfer source code, check consistency and recompile if necessary. This cumbersome procedure is surely one reason for the (still existing) lack of production Grid computing. Gridmake, a tool to automate and speed up this procedure is presented in this paper.

T1  - Characterizing Grids
N2  - We present a new data model approach to describe the various objects that either represent the Grid infrastructure or make use of it. The data model is based on the experiences and experiments conducted in heterogeneous Grid environments. While very sophisticated data models exist to describe and characterize e.g. compute capacities or web services, we will show that a general description, which combines {em all} of these aspects, is needed to give an adequate representation of objects on a Grid. The Grid Object Description Language (GODsL)} is a generic and extensible approach to unify the various aspects that an object on a Grid can have. GODsL provides the content for the XML based communication in Grid migration scenarios, carried out in the GridLab project. We describe the data model architecture on a general level and focus on the Grid application scenarios.
