Presentation Transcript

  1. Grid Programming Environments

  2. Topics • GrADS • XIO • MPICH-G2

  3. GrADS – Grid Application Development Software • Internet, P2P, Grid Middleware – Large Scale Resource Sharing • Grid application development • GrADS supports

  4. GrADS – Vision • Currently, development on top of existing infrastructure • Useful applications, but too difficult • Must become easier to develop • Specify a program in high level language • Seamlessly access the Grid

  5. GrADS – Problems • Insulate User from Grid complexity • Provide Execution Environment adapting Application to the Dynamically changing Grid

  6. GrADS – Overview

  7. GrADS – Program Preparation System (PPS) • Applications assembled as modules in high level language • Built on pre-existing component libraries • Express a computation in terms that make sense for expert in application domain

  8. GrADS – Program Preparation System (PPS) • Modules bound together into: • Components • Libraries • Applications • With a coordination language

  9. GrADS – Program Preparation System (PPS) • Creates annotated modules • Application is compiled with: • Software Components • GrADS Libraries • Configurable Object Program (COP)

  10. GrADS – Telescoping Languages • Allow users to write applications in high level domain specific language • TeleGen Compiler reads domain specific library • Produces Optimizer that understands how to use the library

  11. GrADS – Telescoping Languages • Optimizer is compiler for a new language: • Base Language (e.g. C/C++) • Augmented functions specific to the domain • Language implemented as preprocessor

  12. GrADS – Overview

  13. GrADS – Execution Environment • COP is delivered to Execution Environment • Determine Available Resources • Secure Subset for Application • Service Negotiator brokers Allocation/Scheduling • Dynamic Optimizer Tailors COP for good performance

  14. GrADS – Execution Environment • Real-Time Monitor tracks behavior of program, checks PC • On violation, monitor interrupts execution • Possible actions: • Invoke Dynamic Optimizer • Negotiate new set of resources • Invoke both Optimizer and negotiate new set of resources

  15. GrADS – Execution Environment • Dynamic Forecasts to reduce overhead of renegotiation

  16. XIO – Globus eXtensible Input/Output system • What is XIO? • API able to present different I/O problems uniformly

  17. XIO – Globus eXtensible Input/Output system • Goal: Present a simple Open/Close/Read/Write (OCRW) interface for all byte stream I/O: • Local Disk • Electron Microscope • TCP/IP • Custom Protocols

  18. XIO – Globus eXtensible Input/Output system • Does not try to map every type of I/O to a single API • Does not hide all details of the underlying protocol

  19. XIO – Globus eXtensible Input/Output system

  20. XIO – Globus eXtensible Input/Output system • For XIO application to access a protocol, special Driver must be written • Application can then access protocol through OCRW Interface • Application may want to interact with underlying driver • Interaction is of course Driver specific

  21. MPICH-G2 • Is a Grid-enabled version of MPI used in parallel computing • Low-level programming model, yet has sophisticated measures for: • Handling Heterogeneity • Modular Programs • Management of Latency • Representation of Global Operations

  22. MPI – Message Passing Interface • Standard that defines library of routines to implement message-passing model • Point-to-point communication functions: • Send to initiate Data transfer • Receive to extract data from system data structures • Collective operations (broadcast, reductions) involving multiple processes

  23. MPI – Message Passing Interface • Underlying performance issues accessible to programmers

  24. MPICH-G2 • Asynchronous operations used for Latency Management • Communicator Construct used to represent hierarchical structure of heterogeneous systems • Run MPI programs across multiple computers
