PreWS GRAM

GRAM is a Globus project that produces technologies which enable users to locate, submit, monitor and cancel remote jobs on Grid-based compute resources. GRAM enables remote execution management in contexts for which reliable operation, stateful monitoring, credential management, and file staging are important. GRAM is not a job scheduler. Rather, it provides a single protocol for communicating with different batch/cluster job schedulers.
