Nimrod/G

Nimrod/G is a Grid (and recently cloud) aware version of Nimrod (part of the Nimrod toolkit). It takes advantage of features supported in the Globus toolkit such as automatic discovery of allowed resources. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of computational economy as part of the Nimrod/G scheduler. The architecture is extensible enough to use any other grid-middleware services such as Legion, Condor and NetSolve.
