Abstract
This paper shows how virtualization techniques can be introduced into the grid computing infrastructure to provide a transparent and homogeneous scientific computing environment. Today’s trends in grid computing propose a shared model where different organizations make use of a heterogeneous grid, frequently a cluster of clusters (CoC) of computing and network resources. This paper shows how a grid computing model can be virtualized, obtaining a simple and homogeneous interface that can be offered to the clients. The proposed systemis implemented on a system named virtual grid. Both cloud computing infrastructure and grid computing technology used, are freely available to all users.
