Abstract:

Many compute environments rely on centralized, network-facing services in order to work properly; examples are Web servers, Grid Compute Elements and Grid Storage Elements. Testing such services requires a large amount of geographically dispersed compute resources all interacting concurrently with the service to test. Grid resources provide an obvious candidate for such testing, but to the best of our knowledge there is no readily available tool for such testing. In this paper we present one such tool, based on Condor glideins.
