Abstract

V originále

Here we present a generic system for utilization of application programs in the EGEE Grid environment - the CHARON system. Charon was developed by computational chemistry community in the Czech republic to provide easy manageable, comfortable and modular environment to fulfill specific requirements of computational chemistry application users. It currently offers an alternative to standard LCG/EGEE environment in application-generic Virtual Organization for Central Europe (VOCE). Present-day implementation of Charon system is completely compatible with scripting roots of the EGEE Grid environment, provides comfort computational jobs management by encapsulation of available LCG/EGEE middleware enviroment, support for smooth administration of large amount of computational jobs and enables easy retracing of already finished calculations. Compared to widely-spread graphical user interfaces (i.e. portals) Charon is oriented towards users requiring simple but feature-rich and powerful command line and scripting interface that offers support for tens and hundreds of jobs withing a single research project. Taking into account the cornerstones on which the system is built up - modularity and generality - it is not targeted only for molecular modelling purposes but represents a generic application framework easily adoptable for broad set of generic application areas and their specific programs. Moreover Charon also permits to utilize resources from non-EGEE Grids as well. Therefore Charon is expected to be one of useful tools available for promoting utilization of Grid environment for general public purposes.
