  2. GRIDS Center Grid Research Integration Development & Support http://www.grids-center.org USC/ISI - Chicago - NCSA – SDSC - Wisconsin

  3. Enabling Collaborative Science • Enable distributed communities to pursue common goals • Scientific research • Engineering design • Artistic creation • Education • Focusing on the enabling mechanisms required for collaboration • Resource sharing as a fundamental concept

  4. Elements of Grid Computing • Resource sharing • Computers, storage, sensors, networks • Sharing is always conditional, based on issues of trust, policy, negotiation, payment, etc. • Coordinated problem solving • Beyond client-server: distributed data analysis, computation, collaboration, etc. • Dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations • Community overlays on classic org structures • Large or small, static or dynamic

  5. Grids Center Software Suite Release 3 April 21, 2003

  6. Software Suite • Globus Toolkit • Condor-G • Network Weather Service • GSI-OpenSSH • KX.509/KCA • MyProxy • MPICH-G2 • Grid Packaging Tools • GridConfig Tools

  7. Platforms • Red Hat Linux • 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 • Solaris 8.0 on SPARC • Platforms integrated into build/test process: • AIX 5.1 • SUSE IA64 (SLES 8) • Tru64

  8. Plans for Release 4 • More software component: • GridSolve, pyGlobus, APST, Ganglia, etc. • Enhanced usage of GridConfig • Focused effort to ship on additional platforms • AIX, IA64 SUSE, HPUX, Tru64 • Refine and export the processes

  9. Exporting the Process • Machine Pool • Automated builds, deployment, verification testing • 2 tiers: • Grids Center internal • Distributed open community

  10. Exporting the Process • Software Set • Iterate Packaging strategy • Enhanced distribution and installation strategy • Goals • Accommodate more software components faster • Enhance the capabilities of Grid builders
