ALCHEMI VS GLOBUS: A PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

Alchemi and the Globus Toolkit are open source software toolkits for implementing a Grid. Although both toolkits are designed for the same purpose, their architecture and underlying technology are completely different. Thus, a performance comparison of a Grid implementation in Alchemi with a similar Grid implementation in the Globus Toolkit will be interesting. We built a test bed to compare the performance of the two toolkits. This paper includes tables and graphs to illustrate the comparison.
