  2. Outline • Introduction • Objectives • VLAM-G Principles • VLAM-G Architecture • VLAM-G & DASII • VLAM-G Application Examples • Conclusions

  3. VLAM-GVirtual Laboratory AMsterdam A collaborative analysis environment for applied experimental science Grid and VLAM is about sharing resources: • physical equipment (remote experimentation) • Data & Information repositories

  4. Application Layer Virtual Lab. Grid Layer

  5. Objectives & realization Methods • Enable VLAM-G users todefine, execute, and • monitor their experiments • Provide to VLAM-G users: • location independent experimentation, • familiar experimentation environment • assistance during their experiments • Easy way to bring/port new/existing applications to the Grid • Developing application prototypes to check ideas and to learn

  6. Objectives & realization Methods • Application layer • Case studies • Provides VLAM-G modules • Middle layer (Top) • Hides the details of the Grid • Offers an information management system

  10. Process Flow Template(PFT) • Used as a blueprint for a specific type of experiments • PFT is designed offline by the experts in each scientific domain • It is the main interface used by the VLAM-G users to perform a specific experimentation in the VLAM-G environment. • It Guides the user while performing the experiment.

  13. Status of the VLAM-G Prototype • The first Beta-release is almost ready • This release will contain: • A tool to load modules in the VLAM-G database • A list of modules that can selected and used • C/C++ API to write VLAM-G modules • Support for the MACS and DNA array experiments • It should be conform to the Globus security • It is going to be running on DAS-2

  14. The histogram demo • This demo. is about running jobs on different Grid enabled machines using the VLAM-G environment. • Two modules: • Slider • Visualization

  15. Histogram demo

  16. Floating ball experiment • This experiment is about controlling remote external devices using the VLAM-G environment. • Two modules: • controller • Visualization

  17. Floating ball experiment

  18. The MRI scan experiment • This experiment is about running jobs on different Grid enabled machines using the VLAM-G environment. • Four modules: • MRI scanner • Converter to NetCDF • Visualization Modules: 2D and 3D

  19. RMI Scan experiment

  20. MACS (Material Analysis of Complex Surfaces) • Remote experimentation (m-beam) • Data storage • Meta-data analysis (combine data from different sources)

  21. MACS lab Devices m-beam TOF-SIMS FTMS FTIR mscoop

  22. What is needed? • High speed network • Huge computing power • Analytical Instruments / Data • Micro-beam, FTIR, TOF-SIMS, … • Capable database, generic data format • Software (“The glue”) • The Virtual Laboratory env. “ VLAM-G”
