TeraGrid is one of the largest investments in shared CI from NSF’s Office of Cyberinfrastructure

TeraGrid resources today include: Tightly Coupled Distributed Memory Systems, 2 systems in the top 10 at top500.org – Kraken (NICS): Cray XT5, 99,072 cores, 1.03 Pflop – Ranger (TACC): Sun Constellation, 62,976 cores, 579 Tflop, 123 TB RAM Shared Memory Systems – Cobalt (NCSA): Altix, 8 Tflop, 3 TB shared memory – Pople (PSC): Altix, 5 Tflop, 1.5 TB shared memory Clusters with Infiniband – Abe (NCSA): 90 Tflops – Lonestar (TACC): 61 Tflops – QueenBee (LONI): 51 Tflops Condor Pool (Loosely Coupled) – Purdue- up to 22,000 cpus Gateway hosting – Quarry (IU): virtual machine support Visualization Resources – TeraDRE (Purdue): 48 node nVIDIA GPUs – Spur (TACC): 32 nVIDIA GPUs Storage Resources – GPFS-WAN (SDSC) – Lustre-WAN (IU) – Various archival resources Source: Dan Katz, U Chicago But change is constant - new systems: Data Analysis and Vis systems Longhorn (TACC): Dell/NVIDIA, CPU and GPU Nautilus (NICS): SGI UltraViolet, 1024 cores, 4TB global shared memory Data-Intensive Computing Dash (SDSC): Intel Nehalem, 544 processors, 4TB flash memory FutureGrid Experimental computing grid and cloud test-bed to tackle research challenges in computer science Keeneland Experimental, high-performance computing system with NVIDIA Tesla accelerators

What Is a Science Gateway? Web and desktop user interfaces and user-centric Web services for accessing Grid and Cloud resources. – Clusters, supercomputers, mass storage – Applications, databases – Workflows Example Science Gateways from the NSF TeraGrid – GridChem: computational chemistry – UltraScan: biophysics computational analysis – LEAD: Atmospheric science – BioDrugScreen: drug docking, scoring, and discovery. Many others: see gateways/gateway_list gateways/gateway_list This tutorial is about software that powers gateways. Web and desktop user interfaces and user-centric Web services for accessing Grid and Cloud resources. – Clusters, supercomputers, mass storage – Applications, databases – Workflows Example Science Gateways from the NSF TeraGrid – GridChem: computational chemistry – UltraScan: biophysics computational analysis – LEAD: Atmospheric science – BioDrugScreen: drug docking, scoring, and discovery. Many others: see gateways/gateway_list gateways/gateway_list This tutorial is about software that powers gateways.

When is a gateway appropriate? Provide access to community applications – WRF, Gaussian, CHARMM, Amber, BLAST, CCSM, UltraScan – Create multi-scale workflows Provide access to community data sets – National Virtual Observatory – Earth System Grid – Some groups have invested significant efforts here caBIG, extensive discussions to develop common terminology and formats BIRN, extensive data sharing agreements Difficult to access data/advanced workflows – Sensor/radar input LEAD, GEON

3 steps to connect a gateway to TeraGrid Request an allocation – Only a 1 paragraph abstract required for up to 200k CPU hours Register your gateway – Visibility on public TeraGrid page Request a community account – Run jobs for others via your portal Staff support is available!

Putting It All Together

Software Strategy Focus on gadget container and tools for running science applications on grids and clouds. Provide a tool set that can be used in whole or in part. – If you just want GFac, then you can use it without buying an entire framework. Outsource security, information services, data and metadata, etc to other providers. – MyProxy, TG IIS, Globus, Condor, XMC Cat, iRods, etc.

More Information This is downloadable, packaged software. – Apache Maven build system provides everything you need to to build the gadget container, gadgets, workflow composer, and backing services. – Get code by anonymous SVN checkout. ogce- OGCE Web Site: Blog/News Feed: ogce.blogspot.com/ ogce.blogspot.com/
