  3. What is Grid? • Coordinates resources that are not subject to centralized control. • Uses standard, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces. • Delivers nontrivial qualities of service. • Let’s Examine some technologies: • Clusters • P2P Systems (e.g. Gnutella) • Web -Centralized Control Do not use Open and Standard protocols Not coordinated use resources

  4. Why use Grid? • A biochemist exploits 10,000 computers to screen 100,000 compounds in an hour. • 1,000 physicists worldwide pool resources for peta-op analyses of petabytes of data. • An insurance company mines data from partner hospitals for fraud detection. • An application service provider offloads excess load to a compute cycle provider

  6. Grid Characteristics • Scale and Resource Selection • Particular applications selecting resources from a very large collection according to criteria such as connectivity,cost,security and reliability • Heterogeneity at multiple levels • heterogeneity ranging from physical devices, system software to scheduling and usage • Dynamic and unpredictable behavior • Behavior and performance of shared resources vary over time • Multiple administrative domain. • Challenging security problem

  7. Globus Initiative • Provide basic infrastructure, Protocols, Services, APIs and SDKs for Grid Computing. • Protocols: Focus on externals(interactions) rather than internals(resource characteristics) (e,g. GRIP, IP) • Service: Protocol+Behavior (e.g. Information). • APIs and SDKs: Facilitate application developers to develop complex applications(e.g. GSS API,JDBC API,JNDI SDK). Application robustness, correctness, development and maintenance cost. • Globus Toolkit: A community-based,open-architecture,open-source set of services and software libraries that supports Grids and Grid Applications.

  13. Communication Services Communication link 0 1 2 SP EP EP • Diverse Communication needs. • IP does not meet these needs on the other hand MPI do not provide rich range of communication abstractions. • Communication link and remote service request (RSR). • One-sided asynchronous RPC transfer data from SP to EP(s) and integrate it into the process containing the EP(s) SP SP Nexus communication mechanism

  14. Resource Management Challenging resource management problems: • site autonomy • resources are typically owned and operated by different organizations, in different administrative domains • heterogeneous substrate • different sites may use different local resource management systems • policy extensibility • A resource management solution must support the frequent development of new domain-specific management structures • co-allocation • using resources simultaneously at several sites • online control. • substantial negotiation can be required to adapt application requirements to resource availability

  15. Broker Co-allocator Resource Management Architecture RSL specialization RSL Application Information Service Queries & Info Ground RSL Simple ground RSL Local resource managers GRAM GRAM GRAM LSF Condor NQE

  16. Resource Specification Language • Based on the syntax for filter specifications in the LDAP. • An RSL is constructed by combining simple parameter specifications and conditions with following operators: • &: Specify conjunction • | : Specify disjunction • + : Combine two or more requests • Resource brokers,co-allocators and resource managers can each define a set of parameters. • Example: I want “5 nodes with at least 256MB memory, or 10 nodes with 64MB for myprog” • RSL:&(executable=myprog)(|(&(count=5) • (memory>=256)) (|(&(count=10) (memory>=64)))

  17. Local Resource Management • Globus Resource Allocation Manager (GRAM) provide local component for resource management. • GRAM is responsible for: • Processing RSL specifications • Enabling remote monitoring and management of jobs • Periodically updates the information service. • Two major software components of GRAM: • GateKeeper: create Grid service • Job Manager Instance(JMI): resource management and Job control

  18. The Hour-Glass principle • Simple well-defined interface form the neck. • Uniform access to diverse local implementations and higher-level global services.

  19. Grid Security Characteristics • Single Sign on • Users must be able to authenticate just once to access to multiple grid resources. • Delegation • Users must be able to endow a program with the ability to run on his/her behalf. • Integration with local security Solutions • Interoperate with various local solutions. • User-based trust relationships • Each of the resource providers must not interact with each other to configure security environment.

  20. Security Policies: • Grid Environment consists of multiple trust domains. • Operations confined to a single trust domain are subject to local security policy only. • Both local and global participants exists. For each trust domain, there exists a partial mapping from global to local. • Operations between entities located in different trust domains require mutual authentication. • An authenticated global subject mapped into a local subject is assumed to be equivalent to being locally authenticated as that local subject. • All access control decisions are made locally on the basis of the local subject. • A program or process is allowed to act on behalf of a user and be delegated a subset of the user's rights. • Processes running on behalf of the same subject within the same trust domain may share a single set of credentials.

  23. Information Services • Initial Discovery and ongoing monitoring of Resources • Existing services such as LDAP and UDDI do not address • the dynamic addition and deletion of resources. • Two Fundamental entities in Grid Information Service: • Highly distributed information providers. • Specialized aggregate directory services. • Both these entities speak two fundamental protocols.

  24. Information Services VO-specific Aggregate Directories discovery (GRIP) D D registration (GRRP) lookup (GRIP) P P P P Information Provider Services • Initial Discovery and ongoing monitoring of Resources • Existing services such as LDAP and UDDI do not address • the dynamic addition and deletion of resources. • Two Fundamental entities in Grid Information Service: • Highly distributed information providers. • Specialized aggregate directory services. • Both these entities speak two fundamental protocols.

  25. Information Services - Protocols Grid Information Protocol (GRIP) • Used to access information about entities • GRIP supports both discovery and enquiry • GRIP is adopted from Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) • LDAP defines data model,query language and wire protocol. Grid Registration Protocol (GRRP) • Define a notification mechanism to push simple information from one ‘element’ to another ‘element’. • It is a soft-state protocol which is resilient to failures. • GRRP message contains name of the service,type of notification service and timestamp.

  26. Hierarchical Discovery Each directory uses GRIP and act as a Information Provider Host:hn=R1,O=O1 Host:hn=R2,O=O1 Host:hn=R3,O=O1 Host:hn=R1,O=O2 Host:hn=R2,O=O2 Host:hn=R1 VO Directory O2 O1 R1 Center 1 Directory Center 2 Directory Host:hn=R1 Host:hn=R2 Host:hn=R3 Host:hn=R1 Host:hn=R2 Host R1 R2 R3 R1 R3 Information Provider Host Host Host Host Host Network of aggregate directories

  27. Data Transfer - GridFTP • High-speed transport protocol which extends the popular FTP protocol. • GridFTP Functionality: • GridFTP must support GSI • Third-party control of data transfer • Parallel data transfer • Stripped data transfer • Partial file transfer • Support for reliable and restartable data transfer. • The implementation consists of two principal libraries: globus_ftp_control_library and globus_ftp_client_library

  28. Replica Management Service Application Location of Selected Replicas (8) Attributes of desired data (1) (5) Logical File Names (2) Location of 1 or more replicas (4) Replica Selection Service Metadata Service (3) Replica Management Service Performance Measurements and Predictions (7) Sources and destination (6) Information Services

  29. Replica Management Service • Creating new copies of a complete or partial collection of files • Registering them in a Replica Catalog • Allow Applications to query the catalog • Data are organized into files. • Logical File name Vs Physical File name. • Key Architecture Decisions: • Separation of Replication and Metadata Information • Does not enforce Replication Semantics • Provide Rollback to keep the state consistent in case of failures • No distributed locking mechanism

  30. Relationships to other technologies • World Wide Web • Web technologies mainly support client-server architecture. Lack features (at least for now) for rich interaction and single-sign on security. • ASP and SSP. • Provide outsource solutions which depend on specific customer. Lack dynamic configuration. • Enterprise Computing • Static arrangements of sharing resources. • P2P computing • Getting closer to Grid technology, but provide specific solutions rather than common protocols.

  31. Other Grid Perspective • Grid as a next-generation Internet • Grid is a source of free cycles • Grid requires new programming models • Grid makes high-performance computers superfluous
