"The Grid Engine Portal (GEP) technology provides easy and secure access to grid resources from any location inside or outside a firewall via standard web browser interfaces." http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/gep/GEP_Intro.html JAM (Job & Application Manager) is a Jini based, services-oriented interface to GridEngine. It provides a GUI-based framework for selecting from a set of registered applications (or specifying one yourself directly), then selecting a queue to which the job is submitted from a set of available queues (which can originate from one or more clusters or cells), with support for filtering on various queue attributes. Once the job is submitted, it can be monitored and controlled via JAM. http://gridengine.sunsource.net/project/gridengine/howto/jam.html -Ron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
