Relis-G: remote library install system for computational grids

When a grid user installs the library which is used by the GridRPC etc. to the servers distributed over a grid, the user needs to solve complicated and laborious problems, such as user´s effort to input commands for remote operation, creation of an installation package of the library for heterogeneous server systems, avoidance of redundant compilation, and observance of administration policy of each server. In order to enable the user to solve these problems easily, we propose the remote library install system, Relis-G, which is highly portable and multipurpose in the grid. Besides the function for automatic remote library installation, this system offers functions, such as automatic creation of an installation package, automatic avoidance of redundant compilation, and automatic observance of administration policy of each server. Moreover, we confirmed that this system mitigated the above-mentioned user´s burden greatly by operation tests.
