Open grid computing environments

Abstract

We describe three case studies for providing advanced support for TeraGrid Science Gateways as part of our participation in the Advanced User Support (AUS) team. These case studies include providing workflow support, robust job management, and mass job submission to existing gateways targeting computational chemistry, biophysics, and bioinformatics, respectively. Selected tools from the Open Grid Computing Environments and other projects were used, demonstrating the need for flexibility when integrating tools from multiple software providers into specific gateways' software stacks.
