Abstract

Grid computing has the potential to offer a less expensive and faster alternative to high performance computing. This report serves to determine whether grid computing and specifically high throughput computing using JavaScript-based Web client job execution environments is a viable option. It describes the process of setting up a high throughput computing system using a client-server model for processing simple XML files. The process of implementing the system and an evaluation of the system are discussed. The report concludes that high throughput computing is a viable option that is fairly easy to implement. At a university level it could be used to process generic administrative forms.
