Abstract:
In the paper we present how g-Eclipse can be used for easy running computation on Grid resources. The g-Eclipse project is an EU-founded project that aims to build an integrated workbench framework to access the power of existing Grid infrastructures. The g-Eclipse framework provides a general, integrated workbench toolset for Grid users, operators and developers. It is very useful for inexperienced users to interact with Grid resources independently of the underlying Grid middleware. The Grid abstraction enables Grid users to access the Grid in a desktop-like manner with wizards specified for common use cases.
Key words:
Eclipse, g-Eclipse, grid, grid tool, middleware independent, user interface
