Summary

With the spread of various types of grid computing, more and more researchers hope to carry out their research and development using the grid computing. Among them, there are researchers who want to develop their own grid-enabled applications on their desktops. But, pre-existing grid systems do not always provide them with a usable grid environment. Our objective is to provide a user-friendly grid environment to computational scientists and engineers who are not familiar with grid computing technology. To achieve this, we have developed grid-enabled client APIs including not only low level APIs but also high level APIs.

In this paper, we demonstrate a Script Generator API and its implementation in the atomic energy grid infrastructure (AEGIS) [1,2], our grid infrastructure. The Script Generator API as one of the client APIs automatically generates a grid-enabled workflow script from user applications on their desktops without using grid-enabled workflow tools. We also describe the development of the grid-enabled application using the Script Generator API for a full-scale three-dimensional vibration simulator for an entire nuclear power plant [2,3] of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, from which we confirmed that the Script Generator API provides a user-friendly grid environment.
