13. PRAGMA – TeraGrid – AIST Interoperation Testing Technical Entry Point

14. PRAGMA-TeraGrid-AIST Interoperation Goal –Test interoperation by running a simple physics application across PRAGMA Testbed and TeraGrid TDDFT was first application run on PRAGMA testbed to work out its interoperability issues Assumptions –As few as possible! –Teragrid Endpoint must run the Teragrid software stack Modified only to allow for interoperation –PRAGMA Endpoints already running their site-local policies and stacks This is an engineering exercise –What is feasible, what are the best practices –To inform policy, not to make it

15. Timeline 11/17/05 - 01/20/06High-level discussions and commitment to the Multi-Grid Interoperation experiment 01/20/06 - 01/26/06Select and agree on the first application 01/26/06 - 02/03/06Each grid allocates resources and designates technical support/contact and application drivers 01/27/06 - 01/31/06Application drivers prepare and publish application requirements 02/03/06 - 02/04/06Application drivers apply for user accounts on each grid 01/31/06 - 02/04/06each site setup user accounts 01/31/06 - 02/08/06each site implements the application requirements 02/01/06 - 02/08/06Application drivers test user account access on each site 02/01/06 - 02/08/06Application drivers deploy then test the application on each site 02/09/06 - 02/09/06Application drivers start the application run**** (Interoperation) 02/09/06 -Start discussion and deployment of grid monitoring software - SCMSWeb, for cross grid monitoring More than 200 emails to accomplish the above

The site contacts are Jing Yuan Luke and Wan Mohd Hikam Kauthary bin Hassan. Also, in collaboration with (USM) Habibah Wahab, they are getting ready and will deploy and run a grid application in our testbed soon. For more info about MIMOS and its testbed resources, see http://pragma- goc.rocksclusters.org/pragma-doc/org.htmlhttp://pragma- goc.rocksclusters.org/pragma-doc/org.html http://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/pragma-doc/resources.html http://pragma-goc.rocksclusters.org/pragma-grid-status/work.html Welcome, MIMOS friends, to our testbed! Thank you for the super fast job you have done! Cindy
