GridwiseTech defines a metascheduler as:
"Metascheduling also popularly known as brokering is an important piece in a typical computational Grid. A metascheduler is the vital part responsible for the load balancing work between sites and data centers. Metascheduling is a technology in the Grid that is responsible for managing jobs and application workflow, including submitting, scheduling, executing, monitoring, stopping, and retrieving results of computational jobs."

GridSAM - Grid Job Submission and Monitoring Web Service

Posted by chris Fri, 30 Sep 2005 19:00:00 GMT


From http://gridsam.sourceforge.net/1.0/:

”The aim of GridSAM is to provide a Web Service for submitting and monitoring jobs managed by a variety of Distributed Resource Managers (DRM).”

Lots of GridBuzzwordsTM. Their code depends on OMII stuff and the developers are aligned with the GGF. A good first pass overview may be the User Guide or the Use Cases document.
