Interfacing SCMSWeb with Condor-G – A Joint PRAGMA-Condor Effort

SCMSWeb-Condor interface development is an international collaborative effort among some PRAGMA member institutions (ThaiGrid, Thailand; KISTI, Korea; SDSC, USA) and Condor team at University of Wisconsin. It aims at utilizing the rich information collected by the grid monitoring system - SCMSWeb, to enable Condor-G to provide more intelligent grid-level scheduling services. This paper addresses the motivations, practices, benefits and issues of this collaboration; illustrates the design, development and implementation of the SCMSWeb-Condor interface; describes the experiences, test results and discussions driven by running applications thru the SCMSWeb-Condor interface.
