Contribution

It presents solutions for integrating grid middleware into SlapOS, highlighting differences from conventional cloud approaches and extending deployment models to include grid applications.

Findings

Successful integration of BOINC into SlapOS.

Demonstrated deployment of grid applications in a cloud environment.

Addressed confinement and recipe issues in cloud integration.

Abstract

In this article we describe the problems and solutions related to the integration of desktop grid middleware in a cloud, in this case the open source SlapOS cloud. We focus on the issues about recipes that describe the integration and the problem of the confinement of execution. They constitute two aspects of service-oriented architecture and Cloud Computing. These two issues solved with SlapOS are not in relation to what is traditionally done in the clouds because we do not rely on virtual machines and, there is no data center (as defined in cloud). Moreover, we show that from the initial deployment model we take into account not only Web applications, B2B applications... but also applications from the field of grids; here desktop grid middleware which is a case study.
