GridSAM: Web service and JSDL for Sun Grid Engine Sites using Sun Grid Engine or other distributed resource managers (DRM) can interface via web service standards and the GGF Job Submission Description Language. GridSAM, developed by the London e-Science Center in a project supported by Sun provides a Web Service for submitting and monitoring jobs managed by a variety of DRMs. The modular design allows third-party to provide submission and file-transfer plug-ins to GridSAM. Moreover the job management API used by the GridSAM web service can be embedded into grid application that requires job submission and monitoring capabilities. GridSAM is now part of the OMII 2.0.0 release.2. OMII 2.0 available, Director elected to GGF steering group OMII_2.0.0 is the latest release of OMII's web service infrastructure for building grid applications. OMII has focused on providing an open source system that addresses the user requirements of combining ease of installation and use within a secure environment.
3. How to get started with Opensolaris Are you interested in Opensolaris but don't know where to start? Here's some basic information and resources for the beginner. If you are not sure, read up on Solaris10 and Opensolaris. This review offers an in-depth look at the installation of Solaris 10, the emergence of Opensolaris and the new features that make Solaris 10 a viable alternative to Linux.4. U. Aachen SunHPC event videos now online The videos we have recorded during this year's SunHPC event in Aachen, Germany have been postprocessed and are available online.5. Introducing Issue #1 of APSTC e-Newsletter Sun's Asia Pacific Science & Technology Center (APSTC) is launching our first issue of a text-based e-Newsletter. We will showcase our recent and upcoming research & development efforts in promoting Large Scale Computing and Grid Computing. This is one of the channels that we will be sharing our knowledge and experiences with the HPC community. We hope the content will be useful to you. APSTC e-Newsletter - September 2005 C-Issue# 1 News & Events Updates 1. About APSTCEstablished in 2002, Sun's Asia Pacific Science and Technology Center (APSTC), focuses primarily on growing expertise in Grid Computing and High Performance Computing. APSTC works closely with various scientific & engineering communities, particularly with the academic and research institutions in the Asia Pacific region. 2. Sun's Large Scale Computing and Grid Computing Weblinks Compiled Knowledge is power but where can you find all the information that you want on Sun's Large Scale Computing and Grid Computing? We have compiled a preliminary list of weblinks for your convenience and will add more whenever available. 3. New, Improved Grid Training focus on Real-world Scenarios APSTC is collaborating with Sun Education (Singapore) and the National Grid Office (Singapore) in organizing joint Grid training courses that are targeted at the industry users. 4. Call for Papers: The Third High-Performance Grid Computing Workshop (HPGC) April 29, 2006, Rhodes Island, Greece in conjunction with The 20th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS'2006 Technical Updates: New projects & developments 1. New Project: Grid Market Project The purpose of this research project is to build a framework based on a market-economy approach to support new business models for Grid services. This project is aimed at providing the necessary building blocks for commercial implementation by business/scientific entities. 2. Solaris 10 Application Migration Webpage has been updated with new applications. Project objective is to create and maintain a central repository of applications which have been ported over to the Solaris 10 x64 platform. This is to enable easy download access by the general public. 3. Recommended Simulation Tools
