Presentation Transcript

  1. The EU DataGridHow the use of distributed resources can help solve complex problems David Groep, NIKHEFdavidg@nikhef.nl Zeger Hendrikse, UvA IvIzegerh@science.uva.nl

  2. The EU DataGrid Project • Largest operational grid infrastructure • 21 partners in EDG project • More partners in related projects (LCG, CrossGrid) • Specifically looking at deployable grids • 40 sites, 600 users • Interconnected with high-speed networks • Europe-wide resource distribution … you’ll see in the demo

  3. Current EU DataGrid Testbed Testbed1 EDG sites NorduGrid Reference site NorduGrid is as a Grid infrastructure in the Nordic countries Tutorial and Core site ScotGrid NIKHEF RAL ~40 sites ~600 users CERN Lyon CNAF About 1000 machines are available. Some of them are dual processor. Some machines are only used for EDG. They are split into: - Production - Development

  4. Services Used in this Demonstration • User Interfaces • NIKHEF Netherlands • Resource Brokers • Imperial College, UK; CCIN2P3 Lyon, FR; CNR Roma, IT • Information Services • RAL, UK • Compute services • Anywhere in Europe, e.g. NIKHEF, Glasgow, Barcelona, Catania, … • Storage Elements • not used in this demo

  5. Our (simple) example problem • Render a complex image • e.g. for use in animation movies • using many resources (to get speedup) • Rendering package: Rendrib • Method • Split image in NxN parts • Distribute N2 jobs over the Grid • Combine parts on the User Interface afterwards • Using the EDG Application Test Bed This job does not need any staged input data, but more realistic jobs will

  6. UI JDL The job flow through the system Information Service (IS) Job Status Replica Catalogue (RC) submitted waiting ready Resource Broker (RB) scheduled Storage Element (SE) running Logging & Bookkeeping (LB) Job Submission Service (JSS) done Compute Element (CE) outputready

  8. What else could we have shown? • This demonstration showed only “simple” jobs • There are more enhanced EU DataGrid capabilities • Intelligent data replication • Job migration to data • Inclusion of network costs • Scales to many users in a production environment The EU DataGrid project web www.edg.org DutchGrid Platform www.dutchgrid.nl DutchGrid Forum www.dutchgridforum.org For other grid projects, see www.gridstart.orgwww.enterthegrid.com
