Managing execution environments for large-scale enterprise grids creates a need for more dynamic mechanisms to control IT infrastructure. Equally important is maintaining quality of service across the end-to-end environment that encompasses compute, data, and communications resources, especially when multiple workloads are sharing the infrastructure. Various solutions have been proposed and employed, ranging from complex meta-schedulers to more layered approaches that leverage traditional schedulers that are deployed dynamically in multiple local environments through various service delivery approaches. This session will examine the progression of execution management approaches, starting with WS-GRAM, and its evolution from a simple batch scheduling interface to a support platform for deploying services dynamically into an execution environment. Some examples of service delivery to be explored include dynamic deployment of Condor and the creation of virtual workspaces.
