How should we implement the new harness for PC-Linux ?

Resource allocation / Security / ...

Maybe we can make use of components of the Globus project - the GUSTO Globus Uniquitous Supercomputing Testbed forms a grid of 3600 processors located in 17 sites worldwide ( 2 Tflops/s ).

LSF commercial local load sharing facility ( maybe too expensive - RAL )

MOSIX for Linux allows process migration , machine load balancing

For L45 application alone a static configuration file approach ( as used by H1 Monte-Carlo or L4 setup on Lynx-OS ) may be sufficient initially.

Condor project - load balancing , checkpointing, process migration

Easy-LL ( IBM loadleveler ) . but is it available for Linux ?
