This poses several difficulties to the resource management system, which must be able to reserve computing resources for exclusive use and also to determine an optimal process mapping for a given system topology. On the basis of our CCS software, we describe the anatomy of a modern resource management system. Like Codine, Condor, and LSF, CCS provides mechanisms for the user-friendly system access and management of clusters. But unlike them, CCS is targeted at the effective support of space-sharing parallel and even metacomputers. Among other features, CCS provides a versatile resource description facility, topology-based process mapping, pluggable schedulers, and hooks to metacomputer management.}, language = {en} } @misc{ReinefeldStuebenSchintkeetal.2002, author = {Reinefeld, Alexander and St{\"u}ben, Hinnerk and Schintke, Florian and Din, George}, title = {GuiGen: A Toolset for Creating Customized Interfaces for Grid User Communities}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-6737}, number = {02-06}, year = {2002}, abstract = {\textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is a comprehensive set of tools for creating customized graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It draws from the concept of computing portals, which are here seen as interfaces to application-specific computing services for user communities. While \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} was originally designed for the use in computational grids, it can be used in client/server environments as well. Compared to other GUI generators, \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is more versatile and more portable. It can be employed in many different application domains and on different target platforms. With \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}}, application experts (rather than computer scientists) are able to create their own individually tailored GUIs.}, language = {en} }
