  15. Alchemi API: Grid Thread Programming Model(1/4) Grid Thread Model • Deal with application, thread objects and any custom objects • Without worrying about “plumbing” • Use API with C#, VB.NET, Managed C++...etc. Grid Job Model • Grid-enabling existing applications • Cross-platform interoperability with grid middleware

  16. Alchemi API: Grid Thread Programming Model(2/4)

  17. Alchemi API: Grid Thread Programming Model(3/4)
