  3. What is Grid?

  4. Definition A type of parallel and distributed system that enables the sharing, selection, & aggregation of geographically distributed resources: • Computers – PCs, workstations, clusters, supercomputers, laptops, notebooks, mobile devices, PDA, etc; • Software – e.g., ASPs renting expensive special purpose applications on demand; • Catalogued data and databases – e.g. transparent access to human genome database; • Special devices/instruments – e.g., radio telescope – SETI@Home searching for life in galaxy. • People/collaborators. depending on their availability, capability, cost, and user QoS requirements for solving large-scale problems/applications. thus enabling the creation of “virtual organization” (VOs)

  5. Distributed supercomputing support • High-throughput computing support • On-demand computing support • Data-intensive computing support • Collaborative computing support • Multimedia computing support • ....

  6. Resources = assets, capabilities, and knowledge • Capabilities (e.g. application codes, analysis tools) • Compute Grids (PC cycles, commodityclusters, HPC) • Data Grids • Experimental Instruments • Knowledge Services • Virtual Organisations • Utility Services

  7. Grid‘s main idea • To treat CPU cycles and software like commodities. • Enable the coordinated use of geographically distributedresources – in the absence of central control and existingtrust relationships. • Computing power is produced much like utilities such aspower and water are produced for consumers. • Users will have access to “power” on demand • “When the Network is as fast as the computer’s internallinks, the machine disintegrates across the Net into a set ofspecial purpose appliances”– Gilder Technology Report June 2000

  8. Computational Grids andElectric Power Grids • Power Grid analogy – Power producers: machines, software, networks,storage systems – Power consumers: user applications • Applications draw power from the Grid the wayappliances draw electricity from the power utility. – Seamless, High-performance, Ubiquitous, Dependable • Why theComputational Grid islike the Electric PowerGrid – Electric power isubiquitous – Don’t need to knowthe source of thepower (transformer,generator) or thepower company thatserves it • Why theComputational Grid isdifferent from theElectric Power Grid – Wider spectrum ofperformance – Wider spectrum ofservices – Access governed bymore complicatedissues: Security, Performance

  9. Distributed Computing • Concept has been around for two decades • Basic idea: run scheduler across systems to runs processes on least- used systemsfirst – Maximize utilization – Minimize turnaround time • Have to load executables and input files toselected resource – Shared file system – File transfers upon resource selection

  10. Examples of DistributedComputing • Workstation farms etc – Generally share file system • SETI@home project, Entropia, etc. – Only one source code; copies correct binarycode and input data to each system • Napster, Gnutella: file/data sharing • NetSolve – Runs numerical kernel on any of multipleindependent systems, much like a Gridsolution

  11. Internet Computing Projects

  12. Why cluster and grid computing • Clusters and grids increasingly interesting • more workstations • higher performance per workstation • faster interconnecting networks • price/performance competitive with MPP • enormous unused capacity • cyclic availability

  13. Differences parallel/clusters/grids • Clusters are inherently inhomogeneous • intrinsic differences in performance, memory, bandwidth • dynamically changing “background load” • ownership of nodes • Grids add • differences in administration • disjoint file systems • security etc.

  14. P2P, cluster, Internet computing vs. grid computing • Peer-to-peer networks (eg Kazaa) fall within the definition of grid computing (the resource shared is the storage capacity of each node) P2P Working Group part of Global Grid Forum • A cluster is a resource that can be shared- a grid is a cluster of clusters • Internet computing: a VO is assembled for a particular project and disbanded once the project is complete -the shared resource is the Internet connected desktop

  15. Why go Grid? • Hot subject • Try it, experience it to learn the potential • Will enable true ubiquitous computing in future • Today, proven in some areas: intraGrids • But still long way to World Wide Grid • State of art techniques, tools are difficult • Short term goals? Use another technology • Does your system have Grid characteristics? • Distributed users, large scale and heterogeneous resources, across domains

  16. Why? • Grids enable much more than appsrunning on multiple computers – virtual operating system: provides globalworkspace/address space via a single login – automatically manages files, data, accounts,and security issues – connects other resources (archival datafacilities, instruments, devices) and people(collaborative environments) • Inevitable (at least in HPC): – leverages computational power of all availablesystems – manages resources as a single system--easier forusers – provides most flexible resource selection andmanagement, load sharing – researchers’ desire to solve bigger problems willalways outpace performance increases of singlesystems; just as multiple processors are needed,‘multiple multiprocessors’ will be deemed so

  17. Why? • Resources have different functions, butmultiple classes resources are necessaryfor most interesting problems. • Power of any single resource is smallcompared to aggregations of resources • Network connectivity is increasing rapidlyin bandwidth and availability • Large problems require teamwork andcomputation

  18. What do users want ? • Grid Consumers • Execute jobs for solving varying problem size and complexity • Benefit by selecting and aggregating resources wisely • Tradeoff timeframe and cost • Grid Providers • Contribute (“idle”) resource for executing consumer jobs • Benefit by maximizing resource utilisation • Tradeoff local requirements & market opportunity

  19. Grid projects & applications
