Infrastructure areas • Middleware – deployment - development • Computer resources (incl hardware) • Networking
UK Level 2 Grid • Assumptions that people only run on Linux built into Globus and much Particle Physics Grid • May go away with Java based systems • Difficult to get uniform policies for accounts, firewalls. • UK <-> Japan experience, very heterogeneous Grid, need to establish CA • Robert Allan, Stephen Pickles UK contact • Yoshio Tanaka – Japan contact
Lessons from UK Grid • Importance of monitoring health of Grid. State of the Grid is displayed on a web site. • Need to get firewall policy agreed, opening agreed ranges of ports. • Action: send Level 2 Grid test suite to ApGrid and NaReGi • Exchange documents and draft policy proposals to Production Grids RG
Middleware Development • NaReGi SuperScheduler to be exchanged with UK scheduling developments. • Aim is to get a unified approach so that components are interoperable. • Japan – NaReGi WP 1 UK – GRIP/EuroGrid broker UK has common currency for resource but details of costing is different at different sites. Grid economics – Markets project in UK Business Grid/ ASP portal Japan.
Development Actions • Exchange information and personnel NaReGi WP1 and UK Markets Project and EuroGrid/GRIP. • UK Contact Dave Snelling, Jon MacLaren • Japan Satoshi Itoh, Kento Aida (TiTech) • Invite Japanese colleagues to UK Scheduling Meeting 21/22 October, then visit FLE
Transport • Test IP and MPI between Japan and UK, latency aware MPI • PACX-MPI and GRID-MPI collaborations. • Applications experiments with DEISA partners. • Linking in optical networks Tokyo/Chicago/Europe via StarLink 2.4 Gps demo for SC2004 • David Henty, Neil Stringfellow – Yutaka Ishikawa, Hiroshi Takemiya (GRID MPI) • Satoshi Sekiguchi – Peter Clarke (Networking)
IPv6 Issues • 12-18 months UK and Japan work together at the GGF IPv6 Research Group. • Out of this should come some experiments between UK and Japan, using GT2 and/or UPL
Grid VM • Japan contact Professor Kohno Univ Electric Communications. • What might be the usage of this, sandbox capability, exposing Grid services as OS? • Who is the UK contact? Dave Snelling and Satoshi Sekiguchi and Satoshi Matsuoka will monitor this.
