  1. 2005 GRIDS Community Workshop Grid Research Integration Development & Support Learning From Cyberinfrastructure Initiatives http://www.grids-center.org

  2. Welcome to Chicago!

  3. Logistics

  4. Introductions

  5. Why Are We Here? • GRIDS work • Identify priorities for the coming year • Identify system integration opportunities • Your work • Learn from each other’s experiences • Identify opportunities to leverage work from other CI projects • Identify partnership opportunities

  6. NMI is a program of NSF’s Division for Shared Cyberinfrastructure (SCI) 4 System Integrators GRIDS - Grid software integration EDIT - Campus IT system integration OGCE - Grid portal tools and frameworks CIMA - Instrument and sensor networks Middleware Development Projects Middleware Deployment Projects NSF Middleware Initiative

  7. Ease the information technology burden on Grid deployment efforts for e-Science and cyberinfrastructure. Teragrid BIRN NEES Open Science Grid UK e-Science LOOKING EGEE NEON GEON LEAD LIGO And many more! GRIDS Center Goal

  8. GRIDS In Action • Delivery of Customized Services • Develop and deliver the services needed by deployment initiatives • Success measured by volume, breadth of use • Community Engagement • Work side-by-side with deployment projects to identify needs, provide services • Success measured by perceived value of contributions

  9. Distributed Builds Facility • Automatically generates customized software builds and distributions for deployment projects • Regularly scheduled builds • Multi-platform builds • Distributed builds • Used to produce important Grid “software stacks” • GRIDS software releases (of course) • Globus Toolkit 4.0 releases • Condor releases • Rocks - GRIDS roll • Open Science Grid - VDT releases • NEW: Teragrid GIG software

  10. Integrated Solutions • Useful combinations of NMI components • Recognizing and reproducing useful integrations from cyberinfrastructure projects • Avoids redundant integration • Simplifies use in CI initiatives • For example: • Portal-based User Registration Service (from ESG) • Data Replication Service (from LIGO) • System Monitoring Service (from ESG) • TeraGrid Copy or TGCP (from TeraGrid) • Workspace Management Service (from EGEE)

  11. Documentation • An essential element of development for reuse, but typically not a priority in R&D projects • GRIDS invested in GT4 documentation • Improvements in breadth, depth, and organization • Recognized by everyone as a significant improvement

  12. Education/Training • Customized training materials • Customized course content for 2004 and 2005 OSG/GriPhyN/iVDGL Summer Grid School • Custom course for LIGO LSC Workshop • “Beyond Globus: Lessons Learned from the Grid” at GGF-10, GGF-11, SC04, GlobusWORLD 2005 • Full day tutorial with lab exercises: “Working with Grids: Just Do It!” at GlobusWorld 2005 • Full day tutorial with lab exercises: “Build a Grid Service with GT4” at GlobusWorld, Edinburgh, China, UCSD, NCSA • Grid Primer at UCSD, NCS, Kansas City

  13. Customized Consultation • Helping application deployment efforts to plan… • Architectural questions • Component selection • Standards use • Methodology and best practices • Examples • LTERgrid architecture document • BIRN/GEON/LTER security consulting/solutions • NEON IT strategy consultation • TeraGrid software packaging & deployment team • TeraGrid user portal and information services • LOOKING architecture discussions • OSG GT4 deployment plans • you know who you are…

  14. Integrative Testing Framework • Software • A Grid workflow system for software testing • Full separation between the build and test processes • Automated deployment and configuration • Integrates with developer source repositories • Support routine/repeatable testing, monitoring test results, and routing test results to responsible individuals • Hardware • Large pool of systems at UWM • Systems at ISI • Ability to add systems dynamically (e.g., Teragrid)

  15. Last Year’s Workshop • Workshop revealed common themes • Security features (registration, credential management, authorization, auditing) • Data management (replication, integration with storage systems) • Builds, testing, and deployment validation • Two key points • Developing components is not sufficient. Consultation on planning and architecture is also needed. • There is no “one size fits all” solution. Each community has unique requirements, especially regarding deployment.

  16. You Are Not Alone • Your projects are each important parts of the larger cyberinfrastructure community. • Every NSF division has CI initiatives underway. • Other agencies and countries have similar activities. • NSF’s Shared Cyberinfrastructure (SCI) Division is charged with supporting you. • NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI) • GRIDS Center • Open Grid Collaborative Environment (OCGE) • Enterprise and Desktop Integration Technologies (EDIT) • Globus Alliance • Condor • And many others… • The CI community must learn from your experiences.

  17. Keep Talking • Each CI initiative has a unique scientific focus. • All CI initiatives have IT in common. • Stay in touch with GRIDS and other NMI system integrators. • Stay in touch with peers in other CI initiatives. • Share your experiences, successes, lessons. • Leverage each other’s resources. • Track community standards.

  18. For Example • Clear successes • BIRN’s use of Rocks for infrastructure deployment • NEESgrid’s experiment-based deployment technique • OSG’s governance model • Things to watch • LOOKING’s service-oriented science model • TeraGrid’s science gateways & user portal • TeraGrid and OSG interoperability

  19. Agenda • Deployment Issues • CI Projects - Requirements and Status • Broadening Access to HPC Capabilities • Data-intensive Science • In each area, we will hear from CI projects with relevant experiences. • In each area, we will discuss opportunities and priorities.

  20. Expected Outcomes • You will go away with things to follow up on. • Potential partnerships with other CI projects • Solutions from other CI projects • Potential partnerships with GRIDS • Useful “tricks” from other projects • GRIDS will learn how to help you. • Training and consultation • Integrated solutions • Build and test facility • Anything else…
