  1. GridSphere for GridLab A Grid Application Server Development Framework By Michael Paul Russell russell@cs.uchicago.edu Dept Computer Science University of Chicago

  2. Origin: The Astrophysics Simulation Collaboratory A Laboratory for Large Scale Simulations of Relativistic Astrophysics A “Knowledge & Distributed Information” (KDI) Project Funded by the National Science Foundation Building a computational collaboratory to bring the numerical treatment of Einstein theory of general relativity to astrophysics Principal investigators Washington University Albert Einstein Institute University of Chicago University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Rutgers University Wai-Mo Suen Ed Seidel Ian Foster Mike Norman, John Shalf Manish Parashar

  3. ASC Project Goals • Develop a useful software base for applying the numerical treatment of Einstein theory to astrophysics research. • Promote collaborative development among distributed teams of scientists, researchers and developers. • Make software and tools widely-available to astrophysics and computational science researchers. • To coordinate the use of computational and data-storage resources among members of the astrophysics community.

  4. ASC Proposed Solution • Build a Web Portal To enable a Virtual Organization of astrophysicists and computational science researchers to collaborate from any location in the world. • Use standard Grid technologies To overcome the practical obstacles of accessing resources due to the tremendous variety of resource types, mechanisms, and access policies that exist today. • Support development with Cactus Cactus provides the modular framework we require for building high-performance, parallelized applications. Plus, Cactus compiles and runs in most computing environments.

  5. ASC Grid Architecture The ASC Portal is an N-tier, Web-based application that is directly supported by several key services and relies upon Grid technologies to access remote resources.

  7. GridSphere Overview • GridSphere is a Java-based Grid application server development framework that extends the JavaCoG Toolkit and other public libraries to support the efficient use of Grid Services among multiple users. • GridSphere provides packages with extensible APIs for managing users, security, information about resources, accessing services, and managing Cactus applications. • GridSphere provides runtime administrative support, and this is particularly important for Grid Portals since they are “always up”, “highly-available” services.

  8. Orbiter Overview • Orbiter is a Java Servlets/JSP application server framework, built upon GridSphere, for delivering end-user applications as DHTML pages (and more recently Java Applets). • Orbiter packages collections of JSP pages as “modules” to which access policies can be set on a per user basis. • Our end goal is to develop an extensible JSP tag framework to will make it easier to construct DHTML pages for delivering Grid application services. • We plan to extend Orbiter to use XML/XSLT as intermediary step to producing DHTML pages (looking at JetSpeed for content delivery).

  9. Functional Overview • Administrative Tools • Security Tools • Resource Information • Job Submission • File Transferring • Launching Visualization Apps • Managing Cactus Apps • Development Tools • Other Tools

  10. GridLab Portal Development • GridLab Portals will be developed with GridSphere/Orbiter, from which we plan to develop an open-source project. • We will extend GridSphere with an OGSA communication framework. • OGSA will provide us with a communication infrastructure with which we can construct Grid portals as collections of distinct services, where each service may be administered from distinct host environments. • This will make it easier to “plug” services developed by other Work Packages into our Grid application server framework.

  11. GridSphere/Orbiter Development GridSphere will get its own hosting environment to encourage collaboation fromother Grid Portal projects. GridSphere/Orbiter However, GridSphere will likely be supported by the GridLab project in the long term.
