IDGFInternationalDesktopGridFederation How can you benefit from joining IDGF? Hannover, 17.08.2011 Peter Kacsuk, MTA SZTAKI, kacsuk@sztaki.hu EDGI is supported by the FP7 Capacities Programme under contract nr RI-261556.
IDGF in a nutshell • Objectives • Build a community of those people who are interested in any form of desktop grids including • Different technology developers and users (BOINC, Condor, XtremWeb, OurGrid, etc.) • Service grid providers who would like to extend their resources with DG resources • Scientists who want to build campus grid • Create forum for this community
How to get benefit of joining IDGF? • Different type of communities can get different kind of benefits • In order to understand the potential benefits first we summarize the potential business models of using DG systems
Typical current business model for volunteer desktop grids BOINC project runs 1 appl that runs for years VDG DG project administrator defines the input data to be processed by the appl
Superlink@Technion business model for volunteer desktop grids • BOINC project runs one appl (genetics research) • The appl runs if a user gives input data VDG Portal • Many end-users can access the project via a web interface • end-users define the input data to be processed by the appl
EDGeS, DEGISCO and EDGI business model for volunteer desktop grids • BOINC project runs several appls • An appl runs if a user gives input data VDG Portal • Many end-users can access the project via a web interface • end-users define the input data to be processed by the appls
DEGISCO business model for volunteer desktop grids SG VO • BOINC project runs several appls • An appl runs if a user gives input data VDG Portal • Many end-users can access the project via a web interface • end-users define the input data to be processed by the appls DEGISCO provides SG VO resources
EDGI business model for volunteer desktop grids Cloud • BOINC project runs several appls • An appl runs if a user gives input data VDG Portal • Many end-users can access the project via a web interface • end-users define the input data to be processed by the appls EDGI provides cloud resources for QoS
EDGI business model for volunteer desktop grids Cloud • BOINC project runs several appls • An appl runs if a user gives input data VDG SG VO • Many end-users can access the project via a service grid VO UI • end-users define the input data to be processed by the appls EDGI provides cloud resources for QoS
Benefits for potential DG communities IDGFInternationalDesktopGridFederation Globe adapted from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/ Globe.svg
Benefit for new volunteer BOINC systems • It takes several years until a new volunteer BOINC system can collect substantial number of resources • IDGF will give access to the large set of SG VO resources that were created in the EDGeS and later in the DEGISCO project • It contains ~2000 computers
Extending current business model of volunteer desktop grids with the DEGISCO business model SG VO The SG VO maintained by DEGISCO (and later by IDGF) provides ~2000 computers to support a VDG BOINC project runs 1 appl that runs for years VDG DG project administrator defines the input data to be processed by the appl
Supporting many volunteer desktop grids by the DEGISCO business model SG VO VDG VDG The SG VO maintained by DEGISCO (and later by IDGF) provides ~2000 computers to support VDGs
Examples of volunteer BOINC systems supported by the DEGISCO business model • SLinCA@home (Ukraina) • Yoyo@home (Germany) • IberCivis (Spain and Portugal) • CAS@home (China) • Optima@home (Russia) • Poem@home (Germany) • Univ. of Westminster Campus Grid (UK)
Attracting more participants for volunteer desktop grids • EDGI introduces a new architecture where desktop grids (BOINC, XtremWeb) can be extended with cloud resources for QoS • However, in order to get cloud resources the user needs credits • In order to collect credit either the user or her organization should provide resources for volunteer DGs belonging to IDGF • If you joined to IDGF those who would like to earn more credit will support your DG system
Benefits for those who would like to build a campus grid • There are several technologies (BOINC, Condor, OurGrid, XtremWeb, etc.) to build a campus grid • IDGF provides forum to • discuss and compare these technologies • make them popular to the scientific communities • elaborate the interconnection methods of campus grids built on these technologies • IDGF provides support to build the campus grid • Technology selection support • Installation, configuration and testing support • User interface (e.g. portal) provision support • Application porting support
Benefits for those who would like to port applications to DG systems • Porting applications to volunteer DG is not easy • IDGF members have expertise in this field and can provide support for newcomers • Application porting technology selection support • Providing best practice case studies of application porting • Assistance in porting an application
Benefits for those who would like to extend SG VO with DG • The EDGI business model and architecture is a good example how to extend a SG VO with DGs • Small SG VOs can get additional resources for parameter sweep (PS) applications • IDGF members have expertise in this field • IDGF provides support to extend a SG VO with DGs • Technology selection support • Installation, configuration and testing support • User interface (e.g. portal) provision support • Application porting support
Balanced usage of SG and DG systems within a country • With the technology provided by EDGI and DEGISCO processing load can be transferred towards the less loaded systems • Overloaded SGs can transfer jobs to DGs • Overloaded DGs can transfer WUs to SGs
Benefit for technology and application developer organizations of the European Chapter • IDGF will participate in FP7 and FP8 EU projects • The work allocated for IDGF in these projects will be distributed among the member organizations of the European Chapter • To take IDGF as partner in EU projects will be attractive since IDGF will represent a large community (see the HealthGrid experience)
Conclusions • Joining IDGF is worth for both SG and DG community members • DG community members can extend their DG with SG resources • SG community members can extend their SG VO with DG resources • Both communities can get application porting support • IDGF can significantly impact the community and can attract additional financial resources
