Abstract :
In this paper, we study the importance of languages for the specification of algorithms in high performance Grid computing. We present one such language, the Algorithm Definition Language (ADL), designed and implemented for the use in conjunction with SmartGridSolve. We demonstrate that the use of this type of language can significantly improve the performance of Grid applications. We discuss how ADL can be used to improve the execution of some typical algorithms that use conditional statements, iterative computations and adaptive methods. We present experimental results demonstrating significant performance gains due to the use of ADL.
