3 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 3 Definitions… Cluster : An arbitrary collection of distributed IT resources organized as a management domain… a single system environment Grid : Transparent, secure, coordinated resource sharing across one or more sites… a cluster of clusters

4 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 4 Grid Drivers Virtual Organizations -New infrastructure enables new org structures -Collaborative computing New Class of Capabilities -Potential to solve very large problems New Business Models -Outsourcing of computing tasks -Utility computing -Peak load support Source: IDC Optimize Capabilities Resource Optimization -Maximize return on capital equipment Resource Access -Provide mechanisms to share resources across organizational boundaries Cost Sharing -allow multiple groups to contribute resources to a project while maintaining control of those resources Improved Management Model - incorporate multiple systems into an organization under a single unified systems model Source: IDC Optimize Infrastructure

5 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 5 Ian Foster’s Three-Point Grid Checklist Coordinates resources Not subject to centralized control One or more (virtual) organizations Geographic distribution of users/resources is common Standard, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces Delivers nontrivial qualities of service SLAs vs. policies vs. QoS Translates business objectives into IT objectives Enables effective utilization, resource aggregation, and remote access to specialized resources Clusters are NOT grids! A cluster is a local-area, logical arrangement of independent entities that collectively provide a service.

27 The Globus Toolkit V2

28 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 28 Sharing pains…physical login Compute Servers Compute Servers Site A Site B You have to Get and maintain multiple accounts Use different batch systems No consolidated accounting Manual file movement

29 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 29 The Globus Toolkit™ Version 2 (GT2) A software toolkit that addresses key technical problems in the development of Grid-enabled tools, services, and applications Offers a modular “bag of technologies” Enables incremental development of grid-enabled tools and applications Implements standard Grid protocols and APIs Made available under liberal Open Source license Provided by The Globus Alliance http://www.globus.org

30 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 30 Globus Toolkit: Evaluation (+) Good technical solutions for key problems, e.g. Authentication and authorization Resource discovery and monitoring Reliable remote service invocation High-performance remote data access This & good engineering is enabling progress Good quality reference implementation, multi-language support, interfaces to many systems, large user base, industrial support Growing community code base built on tools

31 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 31 Globus Toolkit: Evaluation (-) Protocol deficiencies, e.g. Heterogeneous basis: HTTP, LDAP, FTP No standard means of invocation, notification, error propagation, authorization, termination, … Significant missing functionality, e.g. Databases, sensors, instruments, workflow, … Virtualization of end systems (hosting envs.) Little work on total system properties, e.g. Dependability, end-to-end QoS, … Reasoning about system properties Scalability

32 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 32 LSF MC & Globus MC: Transparent, dynamic, intelligent, scalable inter-cluster sharing User does not need to know about clusters: total transparency MC dynamically chooses the “best cluster” to run the job User chooses which cluster to submit job to via Globus interface Static, non-intelligent sharing Lacks transparency Cluster A Cluster B Cluster C Globus Inter-cluster protocols

33 Globus Toolkit 3 (OGSA)

34 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 34 Every product an island unto itself Prelude to OGSA: An Analogy

35 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 35 Prelude to OGSA: An Analogy Differentiated products, integrated stack

36 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 36 Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) Next-generation architecture Consequence of technology refresh (i.e., refactoring the Globus Toolkit) and research into Autonomic Computing Convergence of Grid Computing and Web Services Globus Toolkit Access services – e.g., CLIs, GUIs, portals and CoGs Resource and allocation management Monitoring and discovery services – e.g., sensing and indexing Data management services – e.g., file transfer, replica management, etc. Security – e.g., the Grid Security Infrastructure Initially SOAP, WSDL and WS-Inspection The Global Grid Forum (GGF) serves as the standards authority Two layers Core Grid platform – OGSA platform interfaces and models Core Grid infrastructure – Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) http://www.gridforum.org http://www.globus.org/ogsa

37 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 37 Importance of OGSA to Customers Grid-enabled Web Services transforming IT Analyst feedback (e.g., Gartner) Customer experience Customers demand standards-compliant products, solutions and services – why? Vendors guilty of over-promising and under-delivering Avoid single-vendor lock-in Proprietary implementations based on open standards Seek multi-vendor deliverables Framework for partner collaboration Demanding professionalism in software engineering Seek to be engaged in the process

38 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 38 Platform Embraces Open Standards Platform developing software for over 11 years Standards efforts are recent activities Existing implementations are proprietary Platform is an NPi founder NPi merged with GGF (4/02) NPi being leveraged in OGSA Platform committed to open standards Proprietary implementations based on open standards Platform experienced in Open Source arena Offering Linux solutions for over 6 years Offering Globus Toolkit solutions for about 2 years Source-code available for components of Platform LSF

39 Platform and Globus

40 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 40 Platform Globus Toolkit CSF Plus Advanced CSF-based metascheduler Job persistence; enhanced scalability (6x GT 3); Cluster load balancing and host type matching (LSF only) Globus Toolkit 3 Community Scheduler Framework (CSF) Round robin job scheduling; Advance reservation booking, query, & control; Reservation based scheduling; Job throttling for increased reliability Connectors for 3rd party workload management systems (ie: SGE, PBS, etc) Native command line interface support Platform Globus Tookit One step installation Open Source Platform Enhancements

41 CSF

42 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 42 What is CSF? CSF (Community Scheduler Framework). Not a Platform product. Contributed industries 1st open source meta-scheduler enhancement to Globus Toolkit V3.X. Developed with the latest version of OGSI – grid guideline being developed with Global Grid Forum. Open source "meta-scheduler“ – framework - Provides basic protocols and interfaces to help resources work together in heterogeneous environments - enables global access and maintains local control of resources

43 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 43 Key Benefits of OGSA Compliance Future-proof & protect grid investment using standards-based solutions Standardized approach to access Platform LSF Interoperate with 3rd party systems

44 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 44 Metaschedulers Scheduler that co-ordinates communication between heterogeneous schedulers that operate at a local level Enables global access and coordination while maintaining local control and ownership of resources Future – possible to schedule workload execution also storage, network bandwidth, etc.

45 © Platform Computing Inc. 2003 45 CSF Grid Services Job Service creates, monitors and controls compute jobs Reservation Serviceguarantees resources are available for running a job Queueing Serviceprovides a service where administrators can customize and define scheduling policies at the VO level and/or at the different resource manager level RM Adaptor Serviceprovides a Grid service interface that bridges the Grid service protocol and resource managers (LSF, PBS, SGE, Condor and other RMs)

Platform MultiCluster Enables global access and coordination while maintaining local control and ownership of resources Join geographically dispersed clusters Production quality solution to build enterprise grids Platform proprietary solution that is standards-based & OGSA compliant Globus Toolkit Tools to join geographically dispersed clusters A bunch of “bricks” to build grids (that’s why it’s called a toolkit) Users have to specify which cluster they would like their job to be sent to – not transparent Open source solution Platform adds commercial support: documentation, training, tech support, professional services
