The Campus Computing Grid Resource Monitoring And Discovery

Research groups and scientists from different academia filed in the universities and colleges campus always need high computation ability. Good construction for computing grids of computing resource in the existed campus can achieve the requirement. Resource monitoring and discovery is the key point which should be considered at the most beginning. Resource monitoring is the base of resource discovery and task distribution since it will offer the necessary resource information to other grid middleware. On the other hand, resource discovery can construct a bridge between unknown resources and the gird users requesting the resources. Hence the power of resources discovery will strongly and directly affect the degree of the grid usage efficiency and friendly.Based on the research of grid, the attentive problems are brought forward. This paper introduced the basic principle and also related techniques and methods of resource monitoring and discovery. Based on the characteristics of campus computing grid, there is a discussion about important functions of campus computing grid which should be realized and, analysis of the position of the resource monitoring and discovery service in the computing grid model. Finally, the services of campus computing grid's resource monitoring and discovery have been realized.
