The applications in such fields as bioinformatics, etc. increasingly demand more powerful computing environments and huge amounts of distributed data. One single supercomputer or cluster cannot meet the requirements. Using metascheduler can coordinate multiple local clusters so that it is able to provide a scalable grid environment with much more computing resources and disk space. We designed a grid infrastructure based on GT4 (WSRF) and a metascheduler CSF4. The users can take the advantages of the queuing service and cust
omized scheduling polices provided by the metascheduler. CSF4 is enhanced to work with different local schedulers, like LSF, PBS, SGE and Condor etc, in remote clusters. The system supports both GT4 WS\|GRAM and GT2 GRAM (Gatekeeper) and is able to delegate client proxy with full delegation. Furthermore, Gfarm is integrated to the system to provide a global file system for dataintensive applications. The system has been deployed on the test\|bed of PRAGMA (Pacific rim applications & grid middleware assembly). A few of bioinformatic applications, like iGap and wublast, have been run successfully on the system.
