Abstract
To solve big problem in high energy physics or bioinformatics, it needs a large number of computing resources. But it hard to be provided by one grid environment. While user can submit each job by using it's own user interface in each grid environment, it may need many cost and efforts to manage several hundred jobs conserved in each grid environment separately. In this paper, to solve this problem we develop Ganga's Gridway backend and InterGrid backend. Therefore as we provide the same grid user interface between different grid environments. We developed a Gridway backend module that provide users with access to globus-based grid resources as well. We have also developed an InterGrid backend that allows users to submit jobs that have access to both glite-based resources and globus-based resources. In order to demonstrate the practicality of the new backend plugin modules, we have integrated the AutoDock application used by WISDOM project into Ganga as a new built-in application plugin for Ganga. And we preformed interoperability experiment between PRAGMA grid based on Globus and EGEE grid based on gLite.
