Abstract :
High energy physics (HEP) experiments are facing unprecedented challenges to deal with huge volumes of data. Grid is the excellent technology for it. However, Incompatibility of a variety of grid middewares is an obstacle to exploit the resources on multiple grid infrastructures. This paper firstly introduces HEP experiments and HEP grid, and then reviews the solutions for grid interoperability and interoperations. Because current HEP applications are tightly with gLite middleware, this paper highlights a gateway approach to interoperate with gLite and described it in detail. Direct access to gLite storage system is very important, and a dedicated tool for HEP data sharing is then proposed and implemented. Finally, the implementation of the interoperability of GOS and gLite is introduced.
