Comparison of Grid Middleware in European Grid Projects Jarek Nabrzyski, Ariel Oleksiak Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center {naber,ariel}@man.poznan.pl
Motivations (1) • Standards and interoperability required in the process of new technology development and deployment • Integration of research helps to achieve a common goal • Identification of research gaps and challenges • Determining trends, directions and predicting the future of particular grid projects
Motivations (2) • Financial benefits • Concordance with EU FP6 recommendations • Coordination of research • Integrated projects - objective driven • Targeted research projects - address specific issues • Common effort of GRIDLAB and GRIDSTART
Grid projects • 20+ projects in Europe • Activities clustered in the framework of GridStart project • Other EU funded initiatives (IST 8 Call) • Main US projects
GridStart projects • AVO: Astrophysical Virtual Observatory • CrossGrid: Large-scale Grid-enabled Simulations • DAMIEN: Distributed Applications and Middleware for Industrial use of European Networks • DataGrid: Next Generation Scientific Exploration • DataTag: Research & Technological development for a TransAtlantic Grid • EGSO: European Grid of Solar Observations • EuroGrid: European Testbed for GRID Applications • GRIA: Grid Resources for Industrial Applications • GridLab: Grid Application Toolkit and Testbed • GRIP: GRid Interoperability Project
Other EU projects • FLOWGRID: Flow-Simulations on-demand using Grid-computing • OpenMolGrid: Open Computing Grid for Molecular Science & Engineering • GRACE: Grid Search & Categorization Engine • COG: Corporate Ontology Grid • MOSES: Modular & Scalable Environment for Semantic Web • BioGrid: Bio-technology Information & Knowledge Grid • GEMSS: Grid-enabled Medical Simulation Services • SeLeNe: Self e-Learning Networks • MammoGrid: European federated mammogram database implemented on Grids • GrEEn: Grid for Earth Observation & Environment
The main US projects • GrADS: Grid Analysis and Display System • GriPhyN: Grid Physics Network • IPG: Information Power Grid • iVDGL: International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory • PPDG: Particle Physics Data Grid • TeraGrid: Effort to buildthe world's largest, fastest, distributed infrastructure for open scientific research
Structure of comparison • General • goals & priorities • Architecture & Layers • Areas of Grid computing
Areas of Grid computing • Applications • Application Environment and Tools • Resource Management • Information • Monitoring & Performance • Logging • Data Management • Security • Accounting • Portals & Mobile Access • Testbeds and Network Infrastructure • Dissemination
Uniform description • Problems • Various points of view • Different component structure for particular projects • Projects focus on other aspects • Solution: The important issues in all areas are identified
How to get project details? • Templates • Structure • Partially filled in templates will be sent to participants of all projects clustered within GridStart
Expected results • Overlapping issues • Alternative solutions • Projects groups • Thematic, objective... • Recommendations for possible collaborations between particular projects • Trends • Challenges • Future of projects
Summary • Further steps • Gathering information from projects' members • Comparison • Analysis • Invitation to discussion • Planned deadline: beginning of February 2003
