Abstract

Grids represent an emerging technology that allows geographically- and organizationally-distributed resources (e.g., computer systems, data repositories, sensors, imaging systems, and so forth) to be linked in a fashion that is transparent to the user. The New York State Grid (NYS Grid) is an integrated computational and data grid that provides access to a wide variety of resources to users from around the world. NYS Grid can be accessed via a Web portal, where the users have access to their data sets and applications, but do not need to be made aware of the details of the data storage or computational devices that are specifically employed in solving their problems. Grid-enabled versions of the SnB and BnP programs, which implement the Shake-and-Bake method of molecular structure (SnB) and substructure (BnP) determination, respectively, have been deployed on NYS Grid. Further, through the Grid Portal, SnB has been run simultaneously on all computational resources on NYS Grid as well as on more than 1100 of the over 3000 processors available through the Open Science Grid.
