BES++ Project Homepage

You've reached the home page for the BES++ SourceForge project. The OGSA Basic Execution Service (BES) is a standardized SOAP-based Web services interface for submitting and managing jobs running under the control of a resource manager. The BES++ implementation was contributed by Platform Computing as a result of HPC Basic Profile interoperability testing that occurred during the SuperComputing conference in 2006 and 2007.

The goals of the BES++ project are:

• Provide a reference implementation of OGSA-BES that is compliant with the HPC Basic Profile.
• Provide this implementation as Open Source Software, in order to encourage the adoption of the standards.
• Become a vehicle for the development of extensions to the OGSA-BES specifications according to the needs of the HPC and Grid computing communities.

The SourceForge project page provides access to the mailing lists, file releases, source code, trackers and forums for the project.
