Data Intensive Applications BOF GGF5 Edinburgh July 2002
BOF outline A number of grid projects, such as European DataGrid (www.edg.org), GriPhyN (www.griphyn.org), CrossGrid (www.crossgrid.org), European DataTag (www.datatag.org), PPDG (www.ppdg.net) etc. are building grids to support data intensive applications from various scientific domains such as high energy physics, astro-physics, bio-medical and earth observation. Each of these projects are actively working on architectural issues that can potentially be unified to provide the basis for common solutions.Future directions (e.g. Open Grid Services Architecture) in underlying toolkits (such as Globus and Condor) will have an important impact on these architectures and how they intend to embrace these developments needs to be addressed.The BOF will bring together people from these projects to determine if a common architecture can be found that satisfies their application needs for data intensive grids.The goal of the BOF will be to review architectures of the projects to extract common approaches by identifying those components and configurations that have proved successful.
Agenda • Introduction • Project architecture presentations • DataGrid Bob Jones • CrossGrid Marian Bubak • PPDG Ruth Pordes & Igor Terekhov • GriPhyN Mike Wilde • DataTAG Cristina Vistoli • Discussion
Guidelines given to speakers • principle requirementswhat are the main goals that are driving the architecture • components usedidentify major architecture components employed and how they inter-relate • version / platform detailswhich versions of the toolkits (e.g. Globus, Condor etc.) are used and on which platforms • scale of testbedsnumber of sites and users making use of any testbeds deployed • future directions (2002 & 2003)which components will be modified/extended/replaced
