geenGrid

geenGrid is an open-source grid computing framework designed to coordinate and execute distributed workloads across heterogeneous computing resources, including on-premises clusters, cloud instances, and edge devices. It emphasizes scalability, fault tolerance, and support for data-intensive workflows.

Core components include a task scheduler, a resource manager, an execution engine, and a data layer. Nodes run lightweight agents that report capabilities and status. The scheduler assigns tasks based on resource availability, data locality, and policy constraints. The execution engine supports multi-threaded and containerized tasks.

Key features include dynamic resource discovery, policy-based scheduling, fault-tolerant task retry and checkpointing, data locality optimization, secure communication via TLS, and an extensible plugin system for custom schedulers, metrics, and adapters. It supports containers through Docker and OCI runtimes and offers API bindings for automation.

gegevensGrid is used in academic research, high-throughput computing, and data analytics projects. It supports multiple programming languages through APIs and SDKs, including Python and Java. It can integrate with orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and cloud storage backends. The project is released under the Apache License 2.0.

Governance is community-driven, with a core development team and regular releases. Development is hosted in a public code repository with issue tracking, documentation, and user forums. The project prioritizes interoperability with existing HPC and cloud-native tools.
