Multigrid Interoperations Initiative

• SC05 (November 2005)– APAC– K*Grid/KISTI– NAREGI/Titech– Business Grid/AIST– PRAGMA (UCSD, NCHC)– EGEE– OSG– DEISA– UK NGS– TeraGrid

• GGF Feb 06 (Greece) (Feb 2006)– APAC– K*Grid/KISTI– NAREGI/Titech– AIST– PRAGMA– EGEE– OSG– DEISA– NCHC– ChinaGrid – Others

• Working Groups– Authorization and Identify Management – Resources Information Schema and Services– Job Submission, Audit, Tracking– Data Movement and Management– Testbed for Production Interoperation

Initial Drivers: Charlie Catlett, Satohsi Matsuoka

PRAGMA-TeraGrid-AIST Interoperation• Goal

– Test interoperation by running a “simple” physics application across PRAGMA Testbed and TeraGrid

• TDDFT was first application run on PRAGMA testbed to work out its interoperability issues

• Assumptions– As few as possible!– Teragrid Endpoint must run the Teragrid software stack

• Modified only to allow for interoperation

– PRAGMA Endpoints already running their site-local policies and stacks

• This is an “engineering” exercise– What is feasible, what are the best practices– To inform policy, not to make it

Timeline11/17/05 - 01/20/06 High-level discussions and commitment to the Multi-Grid

Interoperation experiment

01/20/06 - 01/26/06 Select and agree on the first application

01/26/06 - 02/03/06 Each grid allocates resources and designates technical support/contact and application drivers

01/27/06 - 01/31/06 Application drivers prepare and publish application requirements

02/03/06 - 02/04/06 Application drivers apply for user accounts on each grid

01/31/06 - 02/04/06 each site setup user accounts

01/31/06 - 02/08/06 each site implements the application requirements

02/01/06 - 02/08/06 Application drivers test user account access on each site

02/01/06 - 02/08/06 Application drivers deploy then test the application on each site

02/09/06 - 02/09/06 Application drivers start the application run**** (Interoperation)

02/09/06 - Start discussion and deployment of grid monitoring software - SCMSWeb, for cross grid monitoring

More than 200 emails to accomplish the above

Key New Component of the Renewal

• Expand our impact to new application areas– GEO and Geosciences

• Increase emphasis on data in our routine use laboratory – GEO and Geosciences and others

• Harness the potential of lambda grids– Telescience and Tile Display Walls

• Work with productions grids to achieve interoperations– Grid Interoperations Now (GIN)

• Broaden involvement of middleware developments from outside the Pacific Rim– U Amsterdam; UK National e-science Center, U
