Java Swing Interface for Grid Computing with SRB & Globus

Built by Khim Ung to simplify access and control over distributed file systems through a desktop GUI — managing complex research infrastructure with an intuitive frontend

Gridwrap Java Swing GUI

Back in 2003, as a fresh college graduate, I had the incredible opportunity to start my engineering career with the UCSD Neuroscience Department...

Two key technologies formed the backbone of this environment: the Globus Toolkit and the Storage Resource Broker (SRB)...

These tools were particularly important in the context of grid computing...

On top of SRB, we developed a Java Swing-based desktop application called Gridwrap...

Looking back, this project helped shape my passion for building tools that bridge powerful backend systems with clean, user-friendly interfaces.
