GriPhyN / iVDGL • Develop the technologies & tools needed to exploit a distributed cyberinfrastructure • Apply and evaluate those technologies & tools in challenging scientific problems • Develop the technologies & procedures to support a persistent cyberinfrastructure • Create and operate a persistent cyberinfrastructure in support of diverse discipline goals
Sphinx ? • Scheduling on a grid has unique requirements • Information • System • Decisions based on global views providing a Quality of Service are important • Particularly in a resource limited environment • Sphinx is an extensible, flexible grid middleware which • Already implements many required features for effective global scheduling • Provides an excellent “workbench” for future activities! VDT Client Recommendation Engine VDT Server VDT Server VDT Server
CAVES & CODESH • Concentrate on the interactions between scientists collaborating over extended periods of time • Seamlessly log, exchange and reproduce results and the corresponding methods, algorithms and programs Automatic and complete logging and reuse of work or analysis sessions (between checkpoints) • Extend the power of users working or performing analyses in their habitual way, giving them virtual data capabilities • Build functioning collaboration suites (stay close to users!) • First prototypes use popular tools: Python, ROOT and CVS; e.g. all ROOT commands and CAVES commands available
Grid3 • Task Force • Rodriguez member • Operations Group • Online expert consultants • Prescott, Kim, Rodriguez • Site Verification • Validates the grid middleware installation on a grid site • Prescott led development • Monitoring • Kim, Prescott members of G3 Monitoirng grup • Also of OSG mon tech group • Grid3-Dev • Fu, Rodriguez, Prescott • Prescott maintains Grid3-Dev deployment at UF
Open Science Grid • Avery senior member • Governance board • Steering committee? • Deployment board Co-chair Rodriguez • Prescott, Kim Monitoring Technical Group members • OSG Integration Group: • Kim, Prescott, Rodriguez members • Prescott, Rodriguez SRM Server Integration activity
CMS Computing • UF Coordinates the US-CMS Production Effort • Over the past year, Prescott oversaw and was responsible for • 40% of the global CMS detector simulation • 25% of the global CMS event digitisation • Prescott also assists in publishing the MC data to the FNAL Tier-1 and the UF Tier-2 sites • Effort started in 2001 (pre-grid) with Bourilkov and Rodriguez • Produced all phases, including PU
