  1. Building Blocks for a Simple TeraGrid Science Gateway June 4, 2007 Madison, Wisconsin

  2. Welcome to Madison! • Terrific program today • Lots of great content • Try not to get overwhelmed • Take a deep breath • Step back • Think about how this might apply to your environment • Ask questions • During the session, at breaks, write them down and ask us later • Lunch is 12-1 only • Screen capture and audio recording for training purposes

  3. Motivational Vince Lombardi quotes • “It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.” • And a lesser known quote • “A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.”

  4. Morning Agenda • 8:40-9:20, Anurag Shankar, IU • Science gateways: Issues to consider in development. • Problems gateways can solve • Technologies that can be used • Tips for building usable gateways • When to access more powerful resources • What type of staff expertise is needed • 9:20-9:30, Break • 9:30-10:15, Anurag Shankar, IU, Nancy Wilkins-Diehr, SDSC • Science gateways: What TeraGrid can provide. • Resources • Compute, data, software, visualization availability and support • Different types of accounts • Allocation process • External relations • Services • Information • File • Job • Account • Requirements • Security • Accounting • 10:15-10:30, Break • 10:30-10:50, Aashish Sharma, NCSA • Gateway security • 10:50-11:10, Stuart Martin, ANL • Gateway accounting • 11:10-11:30, Steve Mock, SDSC • Use of web services • 11:30-12:00, Yan Liu, Shaowen Wang, U Iowa • Hands-on: Building a simple gateway • 12:00-1:00, Lunch • Note shortened lunch time, sorry! • Needed to fit in all the great content

  5. Afternoon Agenda • 1:00-3:00, Yan Liu, Shaowen Wang, U Iowa • Hands-on: Building a simple gateway (cont.) • 3:00-3:30 • Break and tutorial catch up • 3:30-5:30 • Five brief, real world examples. • 3:30-3:50, Conrad Steenberg, Caltech • Clarens based [NVO, High Energy Physics] • 3:50-4:10, John McGee, RENCI • OGCE based [TeraGrid Bioportal] • 4:10-4:30, Anurag Shankar, IU • Gridportlets • 4:30-4:50, Kent Milfeld, U Texas • Desktop Applications [GridChem] • 4:50-5:10, Gerhard Klimeck, Purdue • inVIGO based [nanoHUB] • 5:10-5:30, Marcus Christie, Suresh Marru, Marlon Pierce, IU • OGCE based [LEAD, Big Red Portal] • Please fill out the tutorial survey at http://tinyurl.com/23u8bc • Users.sdsc.edu/~wilkinsn/TG07-SGW-Tutorial.zip • (43 Mb)

  6. Phenomenal Impact of the Internet on Scientific ResearchOnly 15 years since the release of Mosaic! • Very rapid changes in how science is conducted • 1980’s, Early gateways, National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST server, search results sent by email, still a working portal today • 1992 Mosaic web browser developed • 1995 “International Protein Data Bank Enhanced by Computer Browser” • 2004 TeraGrid project director Rick Stevens recognized growth in scientific portal development and proposed the Science Gateway Program • Ensuing explosion of digital information • Need for analysis in a variety of scientific areas Nancy Wilkins-Diehr (TeraGrid GIG, wilkinsn@sdsc.edu)

  7. Gateways are a Natural Extension of Internet Developments • 3 common types of gateway • Web portal with users in front and services in back • Client server model where application programs running on users' machines (i.e. workstations and desktops) and accesses services • Bridges across multiple grids, allowing communities to utilize both community developed grids and shared grids • Continued rapid changes ahead, must be adaptable, gateways can provide some nimbleness Nancy Wilkins-Diehr (TeraGrid GIG, wilkinsn@sdsc.edu)
