SAGA (Simple API for Grid Applications) defines a high-level interface to the most commonly used distributed computing functionality.
SAGA provides an access-layer and mechanisms for distributed infrastructure components like job schedulers, file transfer and resource provisioning services. Given the heterogeneity of distributed infrastructure, SAGA provides a much needed interoperability layer that lowers the complexity and improves the simplicity of using distributed infrastructure whilst enhancing the sustainability of distributed applications, services and tools.
