  1. Grid Computing (2)(Special Topics in Computer Engineering) Veera Muangsin 30 January 2004

  2. Outline • High-Performance Computing • Grid Computing • Grid Applications • Grid Architecture • Parallel Computers Architectures • Cluster Architecture • Grid Architecture • Grid Middleware • Grid Services

  3. Parallel Computer Architectures

  4. Parallel Architecture Taxonomy • Single Instruction Single Data (SISD ) • Multiple Instruction Single Data (MISD) • Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) • Multiple Instruction Multiple Data (MIMD) • Shared Memory MIMD • Distributed Memory MIMD

  5. Instructions Processor Data Output Data Input SISD : A Conventional Computer • Speed is limited by the rate at which computer can transfer information internally. Ex: PC, Macintosh, Workstations

  6. Instruction Stream A Instruction Stream B Instruction Stream C Processor A Data Output Stream Data Input Stream Processor B Processor C The MISD Architecture • More of an intellectual exercise than a practical configuration. Few built, but commercially not available

  7. Instruction Stream Data Output stream A Data Input stream A Processor A Data Output stream B Processor B Data Input stream B Data Output stream C Processor C Data Input stream C SIMD Architecture Ex: CRAY machine vector processing Ci<= Ai * Bi

  8. MIMD Architecture Instruction Stream A Instruction Stream B Instruction Stream C Unlike SISD, MISD, MIMD computer works asynchronously. Shared memory (tightly coupled) MIMD Distributed memory (loosely coupled) MIMD Data Output stream A Data Input stream A Processor A Data Output stream B Processor B Data Input stream B Data Output stream C Processor C Data Input stream C

  9. Clusters • Distributed Memory MIMD • The most common architecture in the TOP500

  10. Top 2-5 Clusters • #2 LANL’s ASCI Q • 13.88 TFlops • 8192-node cluster HP AlphaServer 1.25 GHz • #3 Virginia Tech’s System X • 10.28 TFlops • 1,100-node cluster, Apple G5

  11. #4 NCSA’s Tungsten • 9.81 TFlops • 1,450-node cluster, dual-processor Dell PowerEdge 1750 • #5 PNNL’s MPP2 • 8.63 TFlops • 980-node cluster, HP Longs Peak, dual Intel Itanium-2 1.5 GHz

  12. Our Parallel Computers Apollo Zeus and Athena

  13. Our Parallel Computers • Apollo Cluster • 6-node cluster • Athlon XP 2000+ processor, 512 MB memory • Linux + MPI + PBS (batch scheduler system) + Globus (Grid middleware) • Zeus and Athena • Two 4-processor Sun Enterprise 420R multiprocessor computers • 450 MHz UltraSPARC II processors, 1 GB memory • Solaris + Pthread + MPI

  14. Cluster Architecture

  15. Cluster Middleware • Resides Between OS and Applications and offers in infrastructure for supporting: • Single System Image (SSI) • System Availability (SA) • SSI makes collection appear as single machine • SA - Check pointing and process migration

  16. client server client client Single System Image Components • NFS (Network File System) • NIS (Network Information System) • NTP (Network Time Protocol)

  17. Programming Environments • Threads (Cluster of SMPs) • POSIX Threads • Java Threads • Message Passing • MPI • PVM • Virtual Shared Memory • Batch Scheduling • PBS, Condor, etc.

  18. Batch Scheduling • Process distribution • Load balancing • Job scheduling • PBS, Condor, Sun Grid Engine, IBM Load Leveler, LSF, DQS, …

  19. Cluster Applications • Sequential • Parallel / Distributed (Cluster-aware app.) • Grand Challenging applications • Weather Forecasting • Quantum Chemistry • Molecular Biology Modeling • Engineering Analysis (CAD/CAM) • ………………. • Web servers, data-mining

  20. Grid Architecture

  21. What is Grid ? • An infrastructure that dynamically couples • Computers (PCs, workstations, clusters, traditional supercomputers, and even laptops, notebooks, mobile computers, PDA, and so on) • Software (e.g., renting special purpose applications on demand) • Databases (e.g., transparent access to human genome database) • Special Instruments (e.g., radio) • People • across the local/wide-area networks (enterprise, organisations, or Internet) and presents them as a unified resource or problem solving environment.

  22. Grid Infrastructure

  23. TeraGrid

  24. Grid Applications • Old and new applications getting Grid-enabled via coupling of computers, databases, instruments, people, etc: • (distributed) Supercomputing • Collaborative engineering • high-throughput computing • large scale simulation & parameter studies • Remote software access / Renting Software • Data-intensive computing • On-demand computing

  25. Conceptual view of the Grid

  26. How can the Grid help me? • Provide access to a global distributed computing environment • via authentication, authorisation, negotiation, security • Identify and allocate appropriate resources • interrogate information services -> resource discovery • enquire current status/loading via monitoring tools • decide strategy - eg move data or move application • (co-)allocate resources -> process flow

  27. How can the Grid help me? (2) • Schedule tasks and analyse results • ensure required application code is available on remote machine • transfer or replicate data and update catalogues • monitor execution and resolve problems as they occur • retrieve and analyse results - eg using local visualization

  28. To make this happen you need … • agreed protocols (Grid protocols) • defined application programming interfaces (APIs) • distributed data management • availability of current status of resources • monitoring tools • accepted authentication procedures and policies • network traffic management

  29. Grid Components Applications and Portals Grid Apps. … Prob. Solving Env. Collaboration Engineering Web enabled Apps Scientific Grid Tools Development Environments and Tools … Web tools Libraries Languages Monitoring Resource Brokers Debuggers Distributed Resources Coupling Services Grid Middleware … QoS Data Access Sign on & Security Information Comm. Process Local Resource Managers … TCP/IP & UDP Queuing Systems Operating Systems Libraries & App Kernels Grid Fabric Networked Resources across Organisations … Storage Systems Data Sources Clusters Scientific Instruments Computers

  30. Network Before the Grid • independent sites • independent hardware and software • independent user ids • security policy requiring local connection to the machine. User Application The User is responsible for resolving the complexities of the environment Site A Site B

  31. First Step to the Grid • Metacenter • Two or more resources connected in a controlled user environment • Constraints • common architecture • single name space • common scheduler User Application A layer of abstraction is added that hides some of the complexities associated with running jobs in a distributed computing environment, however, limitations exist Network Centralized Scheduler and file staging Site A Site B

  32. Request info from the grid 1 Get response 2 1 2 3 Make selection and submit job 3 The Grid Today • Common Middleware • abstracts independent, hardware, software, user ids, into a service layer with defined APIs • comprehensive security, • allows for site autonomy • provides a common infrastructure based on middleware User Application The underlying infrastructure is abstracted into defined APIs thereby simplifying developer and the user access to resources, however, this layer is not intelligent Grid Middleware Infrastructure Network Site A Site B

  33. The Near Future Grid • Customizable Grid Services built on defined Infrastructure APIs • automatic selection of resources • information products tailored to users • accountless processing • flexible interface: web based, command line, APIs User Application Resources are accessed via various intelligent services that access infrastructure APIs The result: The Scientist and Application Developer can focus on science and not on systems management Intelligent, Customized Middleware Grid Middleware - Infrastructure APIs (service oriented) Infrastructure Network Site A Site B

  34. How the User Sees a Grid • A set of grid functions that are available as • Application programmer interfaces (APIs) • Command-line functions • After authentication, functions can be used to • Spawn jobs on different processors with a single command • Access data on remote systems • Move data from one processor to another • Support the communication between programs executing on different processors • Discover the properties of computational resources available on the grid using the grid information service • Use a broker to select the best place for a job to run and then negotiate the reservation and execution (coming soon).
