Open Grid Computing Environment Summary Marlon Pierce Indiana University
Funding and Participants • NSF NMI: 2003-2007 • NSF OCI SDCI: 2007-2010 • Current consortium: • Indiana University: Marlon Pierce, Dennis Gannon • RENCI: Gopi Kandaswami • Rochester: Gregor von Laszewski • SDSC: Nancy Wilkins-Diehr • SDSU: Mary Thomas, Rob Edwards • TACC: Maytal Dahan
OGCE Software • Portlets: pluggable server-side Java components • Now: GridFTP, GRAM, GPIR, Condor, Condor-G, Proxy Management • SC07: Queue Prediction, PURSE, Xbaya workflow, GFAC Portlets • Future: Experiment Builder • Supported Portlet Containers: GridSphere, Sakai • Sakai 2.4 supports portlets via OGCE 1 funding • Web services • Now: GPIR, CFT (deprecated) • SC07: GFAC (Application Wrapping), XRegistry • Future: Metadata catalog
OGCE Software, Continued • Grid Client Libraries • Now: Java COG Kit and Abstraction Layer • SC07: Grid Tag Libraries and Beans (GTLAB) • JSF XML libraries built with the COG • Future: JavaScript Grid libraries and related Web 2.0 services. Develop alternative (PHP, RoR) Web developer libraries for these. • Gateway support software (future) • Auditing, logging, and reporting services • Build process • SC07: Streamlined, Maven 2-based • Future: Maven 2 component-based. • Build your own download, just get the pieces that you want.
Community Support • We are also interested in directly helping other funded gateway projects. • Ex: We’ve worked with the CIMA project to build portlets and integrate authorization. • In addition to the OGCE, IU’s TeraGrid team is refocusing on Gateway development. • Dr. Sangmi Lee Pallickara (LEAD) and Dr. Yu (Marie) Ma (CIMA) are on this team. • They both have extensive experience with data services and metadata management. • We are very interested in collaborating with data grid groups to build portal interfaces and services.
