Abstract

The modeling of human cardiovascular system may represent a break-through in current way how physicians and researchers understand the general working of cardiovascular system and also could help the development of new treatments to cardiovascular pathologies through the detailed information pro-vided by computer simulation. However, computer simulation of highly detailed models usually demands great computing power and may take long computing time, depending on the size and precision of the model. This way, in order to de-crease computing time, the model resolver (SolverGP) uses MPI to share load among different processors. This work presents the main steps of the porting process of SolverGP to a grid environment and also covers the basic charac-teristics of the middleware gLite, the software tools used in the porting process, such as Watchdog, SecureStorage and MPI-Start and the principal strategies used to enable the execution of SolverGP in the grid environment from EELA-2 project.
