  11. What is GAT? • GAT: Grid Application Toolkit • GAT implements the GAT-API • GAT is used by applications to access grid services • GAT Adaptors • Connect GAT to grid services • Allow for multiple providers (GRAM, UNICORE,…) • GAT Engine • Provides runtime delegation of GAT-API calls to apropos adaptors API and Toolkit for developing and running portable grid applications independently of the underlying grid infrastructure and available services

  13. Philosophy and Aims of GAT • Applications make GAT-API calls for operations which may be grid related • Applications link against GAT • Applications run irrespective of infrastructure deployment • GAT Engine loads all available adaptors • Upon a call to the GAT-API the GAT Engine determines the apropos adaptor to provide the “grid operation” • Upon “grid operation” failure another adaptor may be called • There exist a set of default adaptors which provide default local capabilities • Grid applications can thus be compiled, linked, and tested without any available grid services • The same application executable can run in a “full grid environment.”

  14. Philosophy and Aims of GAT • GAT does not aim to replace existing “grid infrastructure.” • GAT aims to provide a simple, clear interface to many different infrastructures • GRAM • Condor • Unicore • GridFTP • RFT • …

  16. Example use of GAT GATContext gc = new GATContext(); SecurityContext sc = … // Prime sc with credentials gc.addSecurityContext(sc); SoftwareResourceDescription srd = … CheckpointableSimpleJob csj = new CheckpointableSimpleJob(gc, srd); csj.submit(); // Wait until csj is running csj.checkpoint();

  18. Summary The GAT is a adaptation layer which insulates application development and use from underlying grid technologies, thus allowing applications to be developed and used in the absence of a grid, and yet an unmodified executable can still take full advantage of the grid in a partially or fully depolyed grid environment.
