Grid Technology Transfer through The Matrix Project IP Proposal for the Call 5 Jarek Nabrzyski et al. naber@man.poznan.pl
The Mission • Matrix is a grid application enabling and deployment project. • Matrix is driven by industry and commerce needs and is very much influenced and motivated by GAT and SAGA. • Matrix builds on top of the past grid projects such as GridLab, CrossGrid, GRIA, Progress, etc... • We will use available Grid tools in order to Grid enable both, commercial/industrial and scientific applications, • Matrix will develop additional application-level standard tools and will strongly participate in standardization bodies, such as GGF. • SAGA development is a primary target.
Research and Development Focus • Matrix will work mainly in three areas: • grid application tools and toolkits, • new dynamic grid application scenarios, • integrated environments for grid applications and for virtual organization management. • Matrix will not develop much new middleware. It will just adjust and deploy the existing middleware in order to satisfy applications’ needs. Focus will be on applications though.
Matrix Applications • Matrix will work with around 10 commercial application companies and service providers to Grid-enable their applications, • In each case a strong business model for the application is a must, • Matrix will also work with around 2-3 scientific applications that have great impact for a broad user community, • Each application will work with Matrix in well defined cycles (8-16 months each): • grid enabling, • pilot deployment and testing with advanced grid scenarios, • feedback • improvements • final deployment
Project organization and summary • Worldwide alliances in both Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific are being made to promote SAGA. • Vendors takeup SAGA and develop adaptors for their grid middleware/OS and queueing systems • Application vendors use SAGA for grid enabling their apps • We are looking for application communities/ companies/ service providers to join the project • Matrix will move Grid environments further into the trully collaborative environments for e-science, business and industry.
