Project Initium: Remote Job Submission Pawel Krepsztul Fairfield University Electrical and Computer Engineering program
The goal of the research • Heterogeneous computing • Screen Saver • Integrated Security • Java Solution • Operating system Independent • Ability to submit jobs to the Grid
Outline • Problem • Approach • Motivation • Literature summary • Validation • Summary
Problem • Use CPU cycles of idle computers • Idle 118 hours out of every 168 hours during the week (i.e., 70% of the time). • This is a BIG WASTE!
Approach • Java Web Start • SSL • Web Server RMI/SSL implementation
Motivation • Workstations are idle 14 or more hours per workday. • Waste of CPU cycles, storage capacity, and network bandwidth. • Security issues in grid computing • Programs are safe to run on grid computers.
Literature Summary • Investigate eight different grid systems. • Six java based and two C/.Net solutions • Five used Globus Toolkit for security • Two systems not secured • None grid use Java Web Start Technology
Definitions • Web Server (WS) – jobs and answers holder • Look up Server (LUS) - jobs and answers dispatcher • Computation Server (CS) – job executor
Validation • RJS system was benchmarked computing one Mandelbrot task subdivided into eight jobs. After each test experiment, the system created eight answers jars. • Several experiments were run using one to six computation servers.
Conclusion • Three major contributions and advantages of RJS: • Deployment • Portability • Security
