Resource/data WG Summary Yoshio Tanaka Mason Katz
WG Agenda • Monday • Moving towards data grid • Resource & Data WG are now one WG • Gfarm intro / discussion • Status of AIST/UCSD Gfarm “production” Grid FS • Applications and milestones • Dedicated use of PRAGMA for specific purposes • Updates by CNIC • Updates of MOGAS • Hosting Bio Grid Portal • Updates by APAC • Tuesday • Presentations from Application Drivers • Plan for work from now to next meeting • Other issues?
Moving towards Data Grid- status - • Latest version: 1.3.1 • AIST, SDSC: New version done • ASGCC, KISTI, NCSA, TITECH, UZurich • Need to be upgraded • NECTEC, BII, NCHC, Tsukuba, Osaka, APAC, NGO, ThaiGrid, CNIC, MIMOS • Have interests Gfarm 1.4 will be available soon (early Nov.) wait it !
Moving towards Data Grid- Done and To Do - • Identify applications • GriddLeS (MU) • iGap • AMBER (for sharing data) • Savanna • Milestones? • All sites upgrade or deploy Gfarm at least by Jan. ~ Feb. including monitoring by SCMSWeb. • Contact to MU soon to ask test run on the current Data Grid testbed.
Motivation • PRAGMA Grid is used routinely as a shared infrastructure. • No reservation, dedication is supported. • Users cannot estimate when his job will be running. • Users cannot expect co-allocation. • PRAGMA Grid is expected to be dedicated for specific purposes. • Experiments • Demonstration
Decision • We agreed that PRAGMA Grid allows dedicated use. • Procedure for the dedication. • The driver sends an application form. • The application will be reviewed and approved/rejected by each resource owner. • Policies and criteria • Depends on site’s policy • To do • Consider how to prioritize multiple requests • Implementation • Site admin should decide how to provide dedication. • PRAGMA admin will announce the other application drivers the schedule of the dedication. • PRAGMA admin will remind the other application drivers the dedication is approaching.
Procedure: Application • Application form (proposal) • Name(s) / Affiliation(s) • Resources (Sites) and account name in each site • Duration • the start time / end time (time zone must be indicated) • Proposal • Purpose • Expected outcome • Example • Yoshio Tanaka / AIST • AIST (yoshio), SDSC (yoshio), USM (yoshio) • Nov. 6 09:00 - Nov. 9 09:00 (UTC) • Proposal (should be more detailed) • Purpose: QM/MD experiments on PRAGMA/TeraGrid • Expected outcome: Scientific results and contribution to GIN
Hosting Bio Grid Portal • Resource WG will host Bio Grid Portal • Install Web server and deploy Bio Grid Portal • By SDSC • Ask Rajesh and Wilfred about installation • Myproxy will be hosted by APAC • New Authentication Profile will be drafted and proposed to the IGTF by Yoshio (at the TAGPMA meeting in the end of Nov.)
Reports from routine-basis drivers • GridFMO by Tsutomu Ikegami • Presented the experimental results • Impression of PRAGMA Grid • AMEXg by Habibah A Wahab • Complaints to Resource Group • Not complaints but insights and suggestions ! • Bio WG activities by Wilfred • Introduction of Bio WG activities and relation to the Resource WG. • MPICH-GX by Kwon
Plans for work from now to next meeting • Build DataGrid Testbed by Jan.~Feb. • 17 sites will install Gfarm 1.4 • Verification via SCMSWeb • Test run of Gfarm application (start soon) • GriddLeS • iGap • AMBER (for sharing data) • Savanna (compare with the current one) • Dedication • Draft summary and procedures, circulate by Friday • AIST will request the dedication next week • Bio Portal hosted by PRAGMA • Portal Server by SDSC • MyProxy Server by APAC • IGTF AP by Yoshio
