Componentising a scientific application for the grid

Programming, Composing, Deploying for the Grid

Grids raise new challenges in the following way: heterogeneity of underlying machines/networks and runtime environments (types and performance characteristics), not a single administrative domain, versatility. So the need to have appropriate programming and runtime solutions in order to write, deploy then execute applications on such heterogeneous distributed hardware in an effective and efficient manner. We propose in this article a solution to those challenges which takes the form of a programming and deployment framework featuring parallel, mobile, secure and distributed objects and components

A Parallel Object-Oriented Application for 3D Electromagnetism

we present the design and implementation of a numerical simulation for electromagnetic waves propagation. A sequential Java design and implementation is first presented. Further, a distributed and parallel version is derived from the first, using an active object pattern. In addition, benchmarks are presented on this non embarrassingly parallel application
