  1. Accelerating Campus Research with Connective Services for Cyberinfrastructure Rob Gardner Steve Tuecke

  2. A typical campus: distributed departments, distributed researchers, distributed resources

  3. Commodification, cloud technologies, and practices achieving economies of scale drive centralization of resources on campuses, condo clusters, etc.College-level funding discouraging “closet clusters”

  4. Yet, for human and practical reasons there often remains a distribution of resources on campuses

  5. And off-campus too…E.g. National CI grids, HPC centers, commercial clouds, science clouds …

  6. Bridged Campus Cyberinfrastructures

  7. Needed: services to make distributed resources transparent to campus users… …and cost effective for resource providers, wherever those resources are provisioned.

  8. CI Connect Vision Accelerate research on campus by providing connective services for local, cloud and national cyberinfrastructure

  9. CI Connect for research projects • OSG Connect is a service for connecting users and project Groups to the national-scale Open Science Grid • Provisioned as a service, using the CI Connect platform

  10. osgconnect.net • UChicago UC3 • stash • portal • Open Science Grid • Amazon EC2 • login

  11. OSG Connect resources: campus grid, opportunistic OSG, & Amazon cloud in one place – integrated with identity and research data management services Scheduling to OSG via flocking to the GlideinWMS service

  12. OSG Connect projects Enabling individual researchers

  13. Knowledge Synthesis Studies enabled by d-HTC M. Culbertson, UIUC computing on 19 sites in OSG

  14. CI Connect Campuses • An HTCondor-based job submission environment connecting local campus cluster resources, the OSG, bridged campuses, or optionally Amazon cloud resources • Offered as a service (PaaSmodel) • Deployed Duke University as the first branded CI Connect campus • Deployments in progress for the University of Chicago • Discussions with University of Michigan

  15. Collaboration between Scalable Computing Center at Duke Universityand the Computation Institute at UChicago http://duke.ci-connect.net

  16. duke.ci-connect.net • Duke Condor Grid • stash • portal • Open Science Grid • UChicago UC3 Grid • login Campus bridge to partner institution Connection to OSG Access controlled by Duke SCC

  17. ci-connect.net • UC3 • stash • portal • RCC Midway • Beagle • login Will set this up for UChicago Computation and Enrico Fermi Institutes (Tier3 users will migrate to ATLAS Connect)

  18. CI Connect Summary • CI Connect offers a way to bring more CPU into users home environment without deploying IT • Offers a means to share resources on and off campus with non-physics groups • Integrated Globus for data management • Instances deployed for: • OSG • Duke Scalable Support Center (Duke Grid) • ATLAS • Started discussion with U Michigan • Interest from XSEDE campus bridging
