  4. Application vs. Infrastructure Middleware

  5. PRAGMA Grid resourceshttp://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/pragma-doc/resources.html

  6. Why Routine-basis Experiments? • Resources group Missions and goals • Improve interoperability of Grid middleware • Improve usability and productivity of global grid • PRAGMA from March, 2002 to May, 2004 • Computation resources 10 countries/regions, 26 institutions, 27 clusters, 889 CPUs • Technologies (Ninf-G, Nimrod, SCE, Gfarm, etc.) • Collaboration projects (Gamess, EOL, etc.) • Grid is still hard to use, especially global grid • How to make a global grid easy to use? • More organized testbed operation • Full-scale and integrated testing/research • Long daily application runs • Find problems, develop/research/test solutions Cindy Zheng, GGF13, 3/14/05

  7. Routine-basis Experiments • Initiated in May 2004 PRAGMA6 workshop • Testbed • Voluntary contribution (8 -> 17) • Computational resources first • Production grid is the goal • Applications • QM/MD, TDDFT, mpiBlast-g2, Savannah, • iGAP over Gfarm • Ocean science, Geoscience (proposed) • Learn requirements/issues • Research/implement solutions • Improve application/middleware/infrastructure integrations • Collaboration, coordination, consensus Cindy Zheng, GGF13, 3/14/05

  8. QMMDhttp://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/applications/qmmd/qmmd_requirement.htmlQMMDhttp://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/applications/qmmd/qmmd_requirement.html • Quantum mechanics application • Ninf-G based • Driver: Hiroshi Takemiya (AIST) • Ready on 12 sites: • AIST: Yoshio Tanaka, Yusuke Tanimura • ASCC: Hurng-Chun Lee, Mike Chiang • CNIC: Kai Nan, Kevin Dong • KISTI: Jysoo Lee, Jae-Hyuck Kwak • KU: Somsak Sriprayoonsakul, Sugree Phatanapherom • NCHC: Weicheng Huang, Chien-Lin Huang • NCSA: Radha Nandkumar, Tom Roney • SDSC: Mason Katz, Cindy Zheng • TITECH: Satoshi Matsuoka, Hitoshi Aoki • UNAM: Jose Luis Gordillo Ruiz, Eduardo Murrieta Leon • UoHyd: Arun Agarwal, Rajeev Wankar, Neelakanta Reddy • USM(hawk): Habibah Wahab, Suhaini Ahmad

  9. Lessons Learnedhttp://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/tddft/Lessons.htm • Information sharing • Trust and access (Naregi-CA, Gridsphere) • Grid software installation (Rocks) • Resource requirements (NCSA script, INCA) • User/application environment (Gfarm) • Job submission (Portal/service/middleware) • System/job monitoring (SCMSWeb) • Network monitoring (APAN, NLANR) • Resource/job accounting (NTU) • Fault tolerance (Ninf-G, Nimrod) • Collaborations

  10. Introduction of APGrid PMAandInternational Grid Trust Federation

  11. Background • Many Asia-Pacific countries are going to have strong motivation for international collaboration with the outside of Asia Pacific. • LCG, OSC, TeraGrid, etc… • PRAGMA & TeraGrid, UK-eScience, EGEE, etc. • Key issue for the collaboration is CA operation • Most Certificate Authorities in Asia-Pacific countries were experimental-level • No CP/CPS • Not strictly operated

  12. Background (cont’d) • Problems of authentication federations • All CAs should keep the same level of operation. • How the CA is securely operated? • Use HSM? Dedicated CA room? • … • All CAs should have no conflict in policy • How the CA identifies end entities? • Use face-to-face meeting? Telephone? etc. • … • Policy Management Authority (PMA) is a coordination body of CA policies and operations.

  13. Policy Management Authority (PMA) • Currently, there are three regional PMAs • EUGrid PMA (established May 2004) • Former: EUDG WP6 CA Coordination Group (started in 2002) • TAG PMA (going to be established) • One of the founding members: DOEGrid PMA (started in 2002) • APGrid PMA (established June 2004) • Unofficially started in 2003 • Each regional PMA is responsible for • coordination of CA policy within the region • coordination of CA policy with the other regional PMAs

  14. History of PMAs • GGF7@Tokyo, March 2003 • First meeting with EU, DOE, and AP members • Agreed with working on forming the Grid PMA. • develop minimum requirements • develop GridPMA charter • Continuous discussions between AP, EU, and TAG PMA for International Grid Trust Federation. • GGF12 and EUGrid PMA meeting@Brussels, September 2004 • GGF13@Seoul, March 2005 • EUGridPMA meeting@Tallinn, May 2005 • GGF14@Chicago • GGF15@Boston • We (AP, EU, TAG PMAs) have agreed with trust with each other for the federation.

  15. APGrid PMA: Asia Pacific Grid PMA • General Policy Management Authority in Asia Pacific • Not specific for ApGrid, Not specific for PRAGMA… • Launched on June 1st, 2004 • Defines minimum CA requirements • APGrid PMA approved that we accept two levels of CA: • Experimental-level CA • Alternative of the Globus CA • Can be trusted within A-P communities • Production-level CA • Strict management is necessary • Expected to be trusted by international communities

  16. APGridPMA: Status (Members and CAs)

  17. APGridPMA: Activities (cont’d) • Defines and approves documents such as charter and the minimum CA requirements • Accreditation of CAs • 6 accredited CAs • AIST, IHEP, KISTI, NAREGI, ASGCC • in operation • APAC, KEK • going to be in operation • Audit • Audit checklist was drafted based on WebTrust criteria and the minimum CA requirement • AIST, ASGCC, IHEP, CNIC have been audited by the other CAs.

  18. APGridPMA: Activities • Regular (monthly) VTC. • Brief status reports of each CA • In-depth report of a CA • Decisions • Examination for accreditation of a CA • Approval of charter, minimum CA requirements, etc. • Open discussions • (physical) face-to-face meeting once per year. • 1st face-to-face meeting was in Dec. 2005, Beijing. • Discussions by emails • Discussions with the other PMAs

  19. Status and challenges • International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF) has been officially approved at the GGF15, Boston, October 2005. • Three PMAs are the founders of the IGTF • Three PMAs agreed with trust with each other. • e.g. CAs accredited by APGrid PMA can be trusted by EUGrid PMA and TAGPMA. • Information (CA certificate, policy file, etc.) of Asia Pacific CAs accredited by APGrid PMA has been included a CA distribution package released by EUGrid PMA.

  20. Distribution of CA information • Periodic, monthly, distribution of all trust anchors • Common for the entire IGTF • Includes all trust anchors for all profilesclassic, SLCS, experimental*, … • Does not distinguished between accrediting PMAs • Wide variety of formats • RedHat Package Management (RPM) systemincluding a ‘meta’ package with dependencies per profile • ‘tar’ archives per CA, ordered per profile • Installation bundle suitable for ‘./configure && make install’ • New formats (like JKS) on request • Chairs can update the common back-end repository
