To meet their needs, they are turning to an emerging technology called computational grids which link many distributed computers together. Many groups around the world are actively deploying grids on regional, national, and inter-national scales. If several grids are linked or ”federated”, then a larger computational power can be unleashed. An attempt was made to federate two dissimilar grids: LCG and Grid Canada using a centralized resourc
