Data Centric Concept • DatavsComputation • Data have been traditionally considered as part(input, output) ofcomputing • However, Data are more important to researcher than computation itself • Typical Data Usage • Use results for analyzing and produce new data from those • Need to handle a lot of cases • Use legacy SW tools which are popular in each research area • What we need … • Data themselves contain meta information • Data are eventually located on local file system automatically and opened by legacy SW as they are • Allow user to manage data by their own way Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Operations on Data Sharing Network • Computing • Editing • Uploading Usage Product Data Application Plan Store • Job/Workflow • Scheduling • Storage • Management Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Active Folder: Product, Activity, Apps Apps/Servers Window Explorer Window Explorer Window Explorer --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- Open traj.dcd etc. param.psf Open Apps Product Public Activity Open 1-2-sphere WRF Amazon EC2 Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Actions on Active Folder Active Folder Cloud Storage Sharing Analizing Cloud Computing Grid Computing Computing Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Active Folder – Cloud Storage • Connecting to Cloud Storage • Catalog Service • Searching Data via Active Folder • Managing History of Data • Archiving Service • Data Backup Window Explorer Active Folder Cloud Storage Catalog --------------------------- Copy(Upload/register) param.psf Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Active Folder – Cloud Computing • Connecting to High Performance Computing Resource • Virtualize Grid/Cloud computing resource as regular folder • Simply Drag & Drop Activity Folder(contains Job) to there for executing Activities Servers Active Folder Cloud Computing Grid Computing Open Virtualized as a folder 1-2-sphere Execute NAMD Amazon EC2 Drag & Drop Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Active Folder – Products • Using Products on My Computer • Legacy SW can access the products as local file • Synchronized between client and server by Dropbox Active Folder On-line Changing is applied automatically whenever connected Of- line Accessing synchronized files Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
Demo • Using Active Folder • Executing by Drag & Drop • Open results by legacy SW directly • http://youtu.be/vXTh3tCHEPE • Prepare Activity • Building Job & parameterizing • http://youtu.be/K4YCZ9o-DKY Grid & Cloud Computing Lab.
