2. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 ?? What do you think is a GRID?? dr. M. Bouwhuis The word ‘grid’ is (over)used a lot (HYPE) –Oracle databases ;( –cluster computing –cycle scavenging –“If a customer calls it a ‘grid’, then it is a grid” –cross-domain resource and data sharing Is there a clear definition? Coördinate resources not under a central controle The use of standards, open and generic protocols & interfaces Delivering a non-trivial amount of collective services When do you need a grid? More then one computer More then one use (sharing) More then one location (collaborating) More then one company/devision More then one community In general: More then ONE. J. Templon When do you need a grid?

43. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 43 Definition of Grid From an EU brochure: –It doesn’t matter if your team is modeling the Earth’s atmosphere, designing cars, creating animated films or finding new medicines, the basic principle is the same: your Grid supplies all the computing power, software, data and knowledge you need in one integrated package, and helps project teams work more closely together The analogy with the power grid: –Like you can plug in anywhere to the power grid without knowing where your energy is coming from you can plug into the grid without knowing where your (computing) resources are coming from.

44. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 44 History (1) From a news item in 1991 –“Smarr describes the metacomputer as a network of heterogeneous, computational resources linked by software in such a way that they can be used as easily as a personal computer” –So the concept was introduced already in the early 90s, known as metacomputing. –Motivation was the emergence of computer networks.

45. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 45 Example (1) Following is an example of the kind of initiatives started in those years from close by: In 1996 a project was started in Amsterdam: The Amsterdam Metacomputing project is an ongoing effort from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Free University (VU) and "Academic Computing Services Amsterdam" (SARA) to develop a Metacomputer environment on the Amsterdam campus. Important components of this environment will be: automatic distribution and monitoring of jobs over a network of computer systems, uniform access to files of other users from each place to work and to each computer system incorporated in the environment, distributed storage of data on various fileservers, automatic backup, migration and archiving, general availability of both commercial and public domain software on software servers, and a minimum of system management tasks. In this way scientists will be able to devote all of their time to their actual task: science.

46. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 46 Example (2) An extensive package of services will gradually be implemented and finally include the following components: fileservers and distributed, transparent file-systems; backup, migration and archiving services; batch-queueing systems, designed for efficient use of local systems, and if desired, of computational servers supplied by SARA; public domain and specialist (commercial) software servers. All components will be accessible from the scientist's desktop. A client-server architecture will play an important role. Combining components will be a relatively easy task, enhancing efficiency in terms of man-hours needed to accomplish a given task. These pages, as well as the Metacomputer are still in a development stage ……..

48. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 48 Example (4) SARA news item on 16-6-1998 – Basis voor meta-omgeving gelegd. – Sinds 4 mei maakt SARA's IBM RS/6000 SP parallelle supercomputer gebruik van de DCE/DFS omgeving, een filesysteem dat een transparante computeromgeving mogelijk maakt. Met het nieuwe filesysteem zijn bestanden van DCE/DFS gebruikers wereldwijd toegankelijk met andere computersystemen die beschikken over DCE/DFS, waarmee een belangrijke basis is gelegd voor de meta-omgeving. – Gebruikers aan de VU science faculty hebben nu op een uniforme manier toegang tot hun bestanden, ongeacht of ze werken op de RS/6000 SP of een lokaal workstation. Hetzelfde geldt voor gebruikers van het Parsytec CC systeem bij SARA: vanaf zowel de Parsytec als de RS/6000 SP zijn alle bestanden voor de gebruiker direct toegankelijk.

49. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 Grid Tutorial, Groningen, September 2006 49 Example (5) A web interface was developed for submitting jobs to the metacomputing environment, also a meta job language was used. Also job migration between systems and mpi over two systems was investigated –First time we heard about globus, one of the well known building blocks now for grid infrastructures. –Network link between systems was a problem, only FE link, Gbit not available, HiPPI (800 Mbps) not available for Parsytec.
