摘要:
A method and apparatus for modeling grid projects, such that their network and node resources may be readily determinable for simulation, scheduling, and control purposes. A model of a grid project is generated using a standardized grid project modeling language that sets forth a sequence of grid project phases. Within each phase, there may be any number of descriptions of parallel activities that need to be performed, such as, CPU processing, network activity, both, or even nested “sub” phases. Each of the descriptions specifies the properties of the described activities, such as the quantity of CPU required, network traffic expected, prerequisites, dependencies, activity splitting limits and characteristics, reliability actions, etc. The grid project model is parseable by the present invention to determine the various phases of a grid project and the various characteristics of each phase.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for depicting grid availability at various times and for illustrating a simulation of the way in which a grid project will be executed based on grid availability. In addition, the affects of introducing new nodes into the grid may be determined and the affects on the simulated behavior of the grid with regard to the running of a grid project may be depicted using the graphical user interface. From this information, a user may determine the optimal time to initiate processing of a grid project by the computing grid.
摘要:
A computer system having an opening configured to accept a device, the device assembly including at least one engagement surface. 3The computer system comprises a locking mechanism disposed in the opening to releasably latch the device assembly in the opening at a preselected position. The latching mechanism includes a hand actuated assembly movable in the opening for releasably engaging the engagement surface of the device assembly when the device assembly is located in the opening. The invention also contemplates the combination of the device assembly and the computer.
