ABSTRACT:
A method and system is disclosed for authenticating jobs submitted to a computing grid. The method may comprise receiving a grid job for performing on the computing grid, authenticating the grid job for performing on the computing grid, marking the grid job as authentic for acceptance by grid computers of the computing grid, and distributing the grid job marked as authentic to the grid computers. Additionally, a method and system is disclosed for screening jobs on the computing grid. The method may comprise receiving a grid job from a grid customer, deriving a pilot task from the grid job, executing a pilot run of the pilot task on a subset of grid computers on the computing grid, checking for successful performance of the pilot task on the subset of grid computers, and submitting the grid job to grid computers for performance if the pilot run of pilot task is successful.
