  1. Portlets and Portals for Grid Computing Johnson Space Center Houston February 19 2004 Geoffrey Fox Community Grids Lab Indiana University

  2. NSF NMI Project for Making Portal Components Robust • University of Chicago • Gregor von Laszewski • Indiana University • Marlon Pierce, Dennis Gannon, Geoffrey Fox, and Beth Plale • University of Michigan • Charles Severance, Joseph Hardin • NCSA/UIUC • Jay Alameda, Joe Futrelle • Texas Advanced Computing Center • Mary Thomas

  3. What Is a Computing Portal? • Browser based user interface for accessing grid and other services • “Live” dynamic pages for accessing grid services • Use(d) Java/Perl/Python COGs • Manage credentials, launch jobs, manage files, etc. • Hide Grid complexities • Can run from anywhere • Unlike user desktop clients, connections go through portal server, so could overcome firewall/NAT issues • Combine “Science Grid” with traditional web capabilities • Get web pages for news feeds • Post and share documents • And other more traditional web page features • Customizable interfaces.

  4. Portal Architecture Clients (Pure HTML, Java Applet ..) Aggregation and Rendering Portlet Class:WebForm Gateway (IU) Web/Gridservice Computing Remoteor ProxyPortlets Portlet Class:IFramePortlet Web/Gridservice Data Stores Portlet Class:JspPortlet GridPort etc. Web/Gridservice Instruments Portlet Class:VelocityPortlet (Java) COG Kit Hierarchical arrangement Jetspeed Internal Services LocalPortlets Clients Portal Portlets Libraries Services Resources (Jetspeed)

  5. The Grid Portal • Provides Portlets for • Management of user proxy certificates • Remote file Management via Grid FTP • News/Message systems • for collaborations • Grid Event/Logging service • Access to OGSA services • Access to directory services • Specialized Application Factory access • Distributed applications • Workflow • Access to Metadata Index tools • User searchable index • Collaboration

  6. Portlet Component and Container Technologies • Jakarta Jetspeed • Open source Java portlet project • Jetspeed is both a framework and reference implementation • Defines portlets, portal service APIs (login, authorization, customization, etc.) • CHEF from University of Michigan • Uses Jetspeed as a framework • Reimplements many of the core classes • Basis for UM CourseTools • NEESGrid portal • CMCS Portal

  7. User Portlets

  8. Example Capability: Portals for Users User “Beth” • The MyProxy Manager • The user contacts the portal server and asks it to do “grid” things on behalf of the user. • To make this possible the server needs a “Proxy Certificate” • The user has previously stored a proxy cert in a secure MyProxy Server stored with a temporary password. • User give the portal server the password and the portal server contacts the proxy server and loads the proxy. • The portal server will hold the proxy for the user for a “short amount of time” in the user’s session state. 1. Load my Proxy Certificate! Portal Server MyProxy Portlet 2. Give me Beth’s proxy certificate COG 3. I am Beth’s Proxy MyProxy Server

  9. Example Capability: File Management User “Beth” • Grid FTP portlet– Allow User to manage remote file spaces • Uses stored proxy for authentication • Upload and download files • Third party file transfer • Request that GridFTP server A send a file to GridFTP server B • Does not involve traffic through portal server Portal Server GridFTP portlet Java COG GridFTP Server A GridFTP Server B

  10. Grid Portal Information Repository (GPIR 1.1)

  11. Access Grid and Related Portlets

  12. QuakeSim Portal Shots

  13. iSERVO Example: Finley • Finley is a finite element code being developed by the QUAKES group at the University of Queensland. • Compatible with GeoFEST-style geometry models and mesh generation tools. • So we can reuse the services we wrapped for GeoFEST. • The Finley application itself is a separate service and also has a separate (simple) visualization service.

  14. Setting Up Finley Simulation of Northridge Selected Fault Components Select Fault from USC database

  15. Run Finley, Retrieve Generate Movie

  16. Example Applications: Earthquake Fault Simulation

  17. New Starts: TeraGrid Portal • Access to TeraGrid Services • Version 0: Collecting Initial Services • Public Information about Resources • Private Information for the developers. • Version 1: A User centered portal (Q2 2004) • Hotpage/Gridport style access to user accounts, credentials, job submission & management. • Version 2: Portals for Science Collaborations (Q3 2004) • Shared spaces, whiteboards, AG access, group authorization, shared application services

  18. LEAD Portal
