The Gridbus Broker Manual

The Gridbus Grid Broker is a software component which matches users’ job requirements to the available resources and schedules the job to fulfill those requirements. The Broker therefore, takes care of resource discovery, job scheduling, execution, monitoring and gathering of output. It provides an abstraction to users particularly those who are not familiar with the complexity of Grid environements.

Requirements
On the Broker side:
• Java Virtual Machine 1.4.x
• Valid certificate (if using Globus machines)
Additionally, all ports above 32000 must be open so that the jobs can connect back to the broker.

On the Grid nodes side: Must run one of:
• Globus 2.4.x
• AlchemiManager 0.8.0
• Unicore Gateway 4.1.0 (Experimental support within Broker)
In case of Globus, the user must have valid credentials to submit a job to Globus, i.e., the user’s certificate-id must be mapped to an account on the node.
