Grid Execution Management for Legacy Code Applications
What is GEMLCA?
GEMLCA is a general solution in order to deploy existing legacy code applications written in any programming language as a Grid service
- without modifying or even requiring access to the legacy code (source or binary)
- without any real user effort.
What are the GEMLCA objectives?
- Deploy legacy code applications as Grid services without any reengineering
- Create complex Grid workflows where components are legacy applications
- Make these functions available from a Grid Portal
In order to achieve these objectives the core GEMLCA architecture has been integrated with the P-GRADE portal and workflow solutions.
Why is GEMLCA a unique solution?
Because it is:
- Language independent
- No access to source code is required
- Legacy code can be deployed as a Grid service with minimal user intervention
- Integrated with portal and workflow solutions
Who are developing GEMLCA?
- GEMLCA was developed by the research team of Centre for Parallel Computing at the University of Westminster within the UK e-Science OGSA TestBed project.
- The GEMLCA P-GRADE Portal integration was done in collaboration between SZTAKI and UoW.
