ABSTRACT:
The use of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been embraced in grid computing for several years. SOA has done well with financial and enterprise applications. However, scientific community still feel the need of an SOA infrastructure which is as convenient as an enterprise SOA solutions, but with high performance computing (HPC) capability. This research work has produced an SOA middleware (ANU-SOAM) which supports an already popular enterprise SOAM API (Platform Symphony API), with the desired level of performance, expected of HPC scientific applications. ANU-SOAM uses collective and dynamic process creation techniques of Message Passing Interface (MPI). Experimental results show that the new SOAM applications are as efficient as any other pure MPI applications, but with the added advantage of widely accepted Platform Symphony API support. ANU SOAM also shows acceptable level of scalability in experimental conditions.
