Who?  CEA (6 months / 16)  PNSC Proxy Job transfer via FTP Data transfer via FTP Job scheduli ng via JCL

7. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Objective: Data access Requirements:  Access to external data (EGEE/HPC): open, get, put … a data structure (allocatable array)  Fast access: in-memory data during the simulation (avoid memory to file + file transfer + …)  Integration in the UAL (Many languages implementation: C/C++, F90, Java, …) Must be defined clearly: connection with SA3 for SAFE Needs:  Access to EGEE (gLite + VO fusion) & HPC (unicore 6) infrastructures: SA1 & SA2  Investigation with the biomedical & astronomy projects (EuroVO_AIDA.pdf @ 4th …)  Support: SA3 Who?  CEA (4 months / 16)  Chalmers (?)  IPP (?)

8. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Objective: Codes orchestration Requirements:  Codes launching (EGEE/HPC) and coupling from the workflow engine: use the previously provided libraries  Distributed workflow: part of the workflow will run on the gateway, on EGEE and on HPC  Integration of codes: JRA1, JRA2 deliverables  Building a workflow based on ITM & JRA1/2 codes Needs:  Investigation of various workflow engines: Gridway, … => collaboration or support  Collaboration with UCSD (Kepler team): designing tool for distributed workflows Who?  CEA (6 months / 16)  IPP : building the workflow?

9. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Objective: Visualization Tasks:  Integrate the new visualization tools (based on VTK, Visit) in the code platform: Developments of specific actors Used in a workflow (during the simulation) As post-processing tool  Integration of the compression algorithm (deliverable from JRA4)? actor or as a library Needs:  Collaboration with JRA4: deliverable, training … Who?  CEA (<1 months / 16)  ULP (?)

10. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Objective: Service administration Requirements:  Deliverable from SA3: User administration Resource management Accounting Reporting  Tool based on SAFE (UEDIN) Task  Integration in the portal Needs  Training on SAFE and support from SA3 Who?  PNSC (24 months)  UEDIN (8 months)

11. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Connection with the others activities NA1, NA2, NA3  Management: bi-weekly, f2f (3 months), GA (1 year)  Training on GRID, HPC, SAFE, Migrating Desktop  Dissemination SA1, SA2, SA3  Login & CPU time to develop & test our software  Help  Implementation of the service administration facilities

12. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Connection with the others activities JRA1, JRA2  JRA1, JRA2 provide several codes  Execution using the API  Needs for orchestration  Data access (ITM data structure)? JRA4  JRA3 provides Kepler + tools  Development of actors and integration of VTK, Visit, …  Actor for data compression

13. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Road map  Work is mainly in 2008 & 2009 Plans 2008 20092010

14. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Deliverables Plans 2008

15. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Risks assessment Jobs launching:  only the batch mode is available => simulations will be less efficient Data access  No external data => could use file transfer (GridFTP …) => hidden to the user Orchestration  No way to run a part of Kepler on the GRID/HPC => use Gridway and build a tool to convert the Kepler workflow to Gridway Plans 2008

16. EUFORIA FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-1, Grant 211804 Work methods Define precisely the work plan (JRA3 parallel session) Email as a communication tool Additional collaborative tools (Savannah, Wiki …)? Meetings: PSG (2 weeks) + F2F (3 months) => rely on NA1 management Mobility?
