Open Source Portal Framework for Job Submission

This paper describes the Open Source Portal Framework (OSPF) for job submission to grid, which is developed based on JSR168 Portlet standard, with GridSphere Portal Framework, Globus Middleware and Gridway Meta-Scheduler. OSPF is providing web portal interface for Open Source Grid Community with the ultimate aim of accessing the distributed computing resources. This portal framework provisions user authentication and authorization using MyProxy Credentials. OSPF provides a platform for development and maintenance of their own Portlets like job Submission, Grid Status and Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) based on specific applications. This paper also captures about OSPF features and its implementation along with architecture, performance analysis followed by comparison of various open source Grid portal frameworks.
