The P-GRADE Grid Portal was software for web portals to manage the life-cycle of executing a parallel application in grid computing.[1] It was developed by the MTA SZTAKI Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems (LPDS) at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary, from around 2005 through 2010.

Features

alt text
P-GRADE workflow editor

By building onto the GridSphere portal framework, the P-GRADE Portal hides details of grid systems with high-level interfaces that can be integrated with middleware. It offers portlet-based access to the following services:

The P-GRADE Portal allows multi-user development and execution of workflows, and also provides support for workflow level grid interoperation.[2]

The portal supports middleware technologies including Globus Toolkit, European Grid Infrastructure (LCG or gLite) and Advanced Resource Connector.

License and support

The P-GRADE Portal was developed under the GNU General Public License. The 2.9 version introduced features such as Portable Batch System (PBS) and Platform LSF cluster support, EDGes 3G Bridge resource support, local PS port support and extended NorduGrid (ARC) support. Release 2.10 of P-GRADE was announced in November 2010.[3]

Installations

The P-GRADE Portal served grid communities in research and industry, providing access to Grids including:

Applications

Application specific portals can be created by adding application specific portlets to P-GRADE portal, omitting some generic purpose portlets and hiding the underlying workflow within an application specific portlet.

Applications include:

Related services

The Grid Application Support Centre (GASuC) was established in 2008 within the Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems and supported as part of the European Grid Infrastructure.[9] GASuC provides assistance in porting legacy applications onto grid infrastructures.[10]
