Grid Enabled JaSkel Skeletons with GMarte

The development of parallel applications requires adequate tools to help the programmer to create applications that can efficiently execute on a wide range of computing platforms. This paper describes a joint effort to build a programming framework that can transparently execute parallel applications on multiprocessor systems, clusters and computational Grids. This environment integrates a Java skeletonbased framework, JaSkel, and a Java-based Grid middleware, GMarte, to transparently execute skeletons across cluster boundaries. The resulting framework allows JaSkel applications to seamlessly use computational Grids. This joint software leverages both previous independent efforts to provide easier access to computational resources.
