About QosCosGrid (QCG)
QosCosGrid (QCG) is a two-layer architecture which is able to deal with computationally intensive, large-scale, complex and parallel simulations that require multiple computational sites. QosCosGrid is able to combine resources from different administrative domains into a single powerful machine and is tightly integrated with commonly used tools for parallel and multiscale simulations (e.g., OpenMPI, ProActive and more recently MUSCLE) using advance reservation and co-allocation features.
Currently, QosCosGrid supports a wide range of development frameworks and programming models relevant for multiscale application developers, QosCosGrid gives the ability to work across heterogeneous computing sites and hides the complexity of underlying e-Infrastructures by simplifying many complex deployment, advance reservation and access procedures.
