* Package name : nordugrid-arc-nox Version : 1.0.0 * URL : http://www.nordugrid.org/ * License : Apache Programming Lang: C++ Description : Grid Middleware of the NorduGrid The NorduGrid is a collaboration aiming at development, maintenance and support of the free Grid middleware, known as the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC). . The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) brings computing resources together across institutional boundaries. This concept is commonly referred to as a "computational grid". Historically, grids address the organisation of distributed storage of data and parallel computation, but arbitrary services are thinkable. . Just like the web, ARC has its roots in the IT infrastructure that was erected to analyse the experiments for high energy physics at CERN. The first release, ARC-0.x, was dependent on Globus, the current release keeps that compatibility but can also be used independently. . With ARC-nox, formerly ARC-1, the user gains flexibility with additional services and more supported platforms. The service developer notices that even for persistent functionality across the two major versions, what has been a script on the server side once, that was repeatedly started and ran through, this has now become a service. Those are only started once and can then be queried, which is far more efficient, far more responsive, and is no longer stateless but can observe changes of values over time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
