摘要

Grid computing is a new arising technology which gets computer from different locations to work together with various data resources. Because of its high capability, Grid has contributed to a plenty of areas. When computing for a special objective, typically a series of algorithms are needed. As conventional algorithm bases were built for just specific areas, a Multifunctional Grid-Algorithm-Base (MGAB) providing a suite of kernel algorithms is proposed in this paper. In this base, each algorithm is deployed as an individual Grid Service. A predefined execution of a sequence of available algorithms/Grid Services is controlled by a workflow engine which serves as a means of orchestration of services composed Into workflows described by the BPEL standard language. Based on the Grid, equipped by an appropriate workflow engine, the sequence of algorithms will be executed easily and fluently. Non-Invasive Glucose Measurement is the first application of the MGAB, which shows that this approach is very efficient. In the future, more and more applications in numerous fields can benefit from the MGAB.
