碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工程科學系碩博士班 === 94 === Grid computing is an emerging computing technology for solving complex computational problems which uses the resources (e.g. processor cycles, disk storage) of many separated computers connected by network to model virtual computer architecture. Globus Toolkit is the most popular middleware for building a grid computing environment, but the APIs of Globus Toolkit are not user-friendly enough for the user who lacks of grid concept. In this thesis a Globus-Based grid computing environment was built. In order to provide an easy way to use the built computing environment, a Java based library and resource broker module were designed. The resource broker is used to collect all the available resources of the computing environment for submitting jobs to run on the system. Several application programs were developed based on the designed environment for evaluating the performance of the designed computing system. The experimental results showed that the built grid computing environment can support applications such as Inter-Process Communication applications and collaborative visualization conference application.
