Grid Enablement of the Danish Eulerian Air Pollution Model (original) (raw)

Abstract

The Danish Eulerian Air Pollution Model (DEM model), developed by the Danish National Environmental Research Institute, simulates the transport and distribution of air pollutants in the atmosphere. This paper describes the deployment of the DEM model as a grid service by using Globus Toolkit version 3.2 (GT3). The project starts by porting the DEM model onto the IBM pSeries machine at the University of Reading and investigates a coarse-grain grid implementation. Components including resource management, grid service development and client application development are designed and implemented within a working grid infrastructure.
