  1. General concept Migrating Desktop New Generation Environment for Grid Interactive Applications • Intuitive Grid-user’s work environment independent of a hardware platform and the operating system • Provides trasparent management of grid files and resources • Advanced user-friendly Java application based on web services and Java CoG technology • Key CrossGrid component, used by users of following applications and tools: • GridBench • OCM-G • Performance Prediction Component • Marmot tool • Air Pollution modelling • Weather forecasting • Blood flow modelling • HEP set of applications • Flooding crisis team support application • and other

  2. User Perspective Migrating Desktop • Single sign-on / authorisation • Platform independent • Batch jobs and MPI jobs • Running interactive applications using java plugins or VNC • Monitoring grid applications • Flexible Application framework • User profile management • Easy application add on • Local and grid file management Desktop tools: • Job Wizard • Job Monitor • Application Container and Plugin • GridFTP Commander • User Profile Manager • Private Storage Management • VNC/SSH console

  3. Developer Perspective Migrating Desktop • Free download of source code: • CVS repository: • http://savannah.fzk.de/cvs/?group=cg-wp3-1 • Migrating Desktop Plugins: • Tool plugin • Applications visualisation • Grid tools integration • Job Submission plugins • Job preparation • JDL pre-processing • Documentation and examples: • Developer Zone at http://ras.man.poznan.pl/crossgrid

  4. Current status Migrating Desktop • Migrating Desktop tutorial held on the first day of kick-off meeting • Migrating Desktop is at the moment operational with the functionality done under CrossGrid project • Migrating Desktop software based on LCG2.4. Upgrade to LCG2.6 as the first step, then to gLite platform • Jobs can be send to LCG2.4,LCG2.6 or gLite as shown during tutorial • Migrating Desktop can support: • Batch jobs and applications, sequential or MPI (MPICH-G2 and P4) • Interactive and semi-interactive jobs and application support (complementary to EGEE!!!) • Java Plugins for interactive job control • VNC for applications that cannot be ported to MD plugin

  5. Application support plans Migrating Desktop • Plans for the first year: • gathering requirements from Baltic Grid applications • investigation of changes required for integration with NA3 applications • supporting the integration of the selected applications with the Migrating Desktop for accessing and using Grid infrastructure, • preparing pilot installation based on selected application and available Grid infrastructure • ensuring interoperability with the evolving EGEE middleware and other middlewares that may be supported on the Baltic Grid during this project
