VO1 WAN VO2 Grid Environment & VO • Multiple users from different institutions • Multiple geographically • distributed resources in different administrative domains • Large scale • Uncountable number of resources • Dynamicity • VO, users, resources Grid@Asia Workshop - Seoul, December 11-13, 2006
State of the Art • Current OS are not Grid-aware & not VO-aware • A variety of Grid middleware & Toolkits for Grid Computing • Resource management • Changing interfaces • Security pitfalls • Complexity for users, programmers & administrators Grid@Asia Workshop - Seoul, December 11-13, 2006
XtreemOS Objectives • Design & implement a reference open source Grid operating system based on Linux • Native support for virtual organizations • Validate the XtreemOS Grid OS with a set of real use cases on a large Grid testbed • Promote XtreemOS software in the Linux community and create communities of users and developers Grid@Asia Workshop - Seoul, December 11-13, 2006
XtreemOS Research Challenges • Identify fundamental functionalities to be embedded in Linux for secure application execution in Grids • Build a set of scalableself-healing OS services for secure resource management in very large dynamic grids • Provide a simple Grid API compliant with Posix while adding new functionality and supporting Grid-aware applications • Aggregate cluster resources into powerful grid nodes by integrating single system image mechanisms in Linux • Build an XtreemOS flavour for mobile devices enabling ubiquitous access to grid resources Grid@Asia Workshop - Seoul, December 11-13, 2006
