An object oriented model for adaptive high performance computing on the computational grid

... borrowing the idea of the electric power grid, Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman, the two pioneers in Grid computing, give the definition of computational Grid in [29]: ”A computational grid is a... traditional programming models Therefore, for programming models, we will present some practical programming models for distributed environments and their use on the Grid 2.1 2.1.1 The computational. .. performance is constituted by the desired performance of different application components; and the highlevel performance in which the user requests explicitly the overall application performance
