Abstract: The int.eu.grid project aims at providing a production quality grid computing infrastructure for e-Science supporting parallel and interactive applications. The infrastructure capacity is presently about 750 cpu cores distributed over twelve sites in seven countries. These resources have to be tightly coordinated to match the requirements of parallel computing. Such an infrastructure implies high availability, performance and robustness resulting in a much larger management effort than in traditional grid environments which are usually targeted to run sequential non-interactive applications. To achieve these goals the int.eu.grid project offers advanced brokering mechanisms and user friendly graphical interfaces supporting application steering. The int.eu.grid environment is deployed on top of the gLite middleware enabling full interoperability with existing gLite based infrastructures.

An improved simple user authentication scheme for grid computing
TL;DR: The authors will show that the proposed scheme for grid computing only requires a one-way hash function and server’s private key, which is very simple and efficient, but is vulnerable to offline password guessing attack.

TL;DR: Open MPI provides a unique combination of novel features previously unavailable in an open-source, production-quality implementation of MPI, which provides both a stable platform for third-party research as well as enabling the run-time composition of independent software add-ons.
Towards Efficient Execution of MPI Applications on the Grid: Porting and Optimization Issues
TL;DR: This paper discusses not only performance on the level of the MPI library, but also several application specific optimizations, e.g., for a sparse, parallel equation solver and an RNA folding code, like latency hiding, prefetching, caching and topology-aware algorithms.
