Grid Accounting Information Service with End-to-End User Identity

摘要

Grid computing virtualizes heterogeneous geographically disperse resources. Because of the characteristics of the grid environment, the concept of 'user' is different from that of traditional local computing environment. That mean, new resolution that providing the end-to-end user identity from grid user to local account is needed. In this paper, we design and implement an accounting information gathering and service (AIService) system. To resolve this problem, we designed a grid access control system, called PGAM. Usage Record of UR-WG in GGF is used as a common usage record. And we designed and implemented a grid service which provides the gathered accounting information.
