1 Dr. Helmut Heller Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) Munich, Germany IGE Project Coordinator Argonne, March 2 nd, 2010

2 Overview The European Grid Ecosystem Initiative for Globus in Europe (IGE) Vision Partners Organization Summary 2

3 The European Grid Ecosystem 3

4 DEISA comparable to TERAGRID Globus tools used in DEISA Gsissh as primary interactive access method to DEISA through Gsissh door nodes Tier-1: DEISA GridFTP as primary high performance data transfer tool through door nodes to GPFS RFT and LRZ WS-GRAM (GT4) available on request GridWay head node as WS-GRAM door node 4

5 Tier-0: PRACE PRACE: top level HPC, Petaflop computing Six European supercomputers of highest performance Globus tools used: Gsissh for interactive access GridFTP for high speed data transfer RFT is planned 5

6 Tier-2: EGI EGI comparable to OSG EGI-InSPIRE in EU review EGI is the umbrella for the National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) EGI is the follow-up to EGEE EGI will define the Unified Middleware Distribution (UMD) to be used in Europe as Grid middleware 6

7 IGE is a middleware provider and will bring Globus components into UMD Service Level Descriptions (SLDs) for EGI Service provider for European Grids Second level support for Globus in Europe Globus can act as bridge between tiers European Integration 7

8 INITIATIVE FOR GLOBUS IN EUROPE IGE Vision Support Globus in the European Grids Coordination of widespread European Globus development and operation activities Central point of contact in Europe for Globus Add the European perspective to Globus 8

9 INITIATIVE FOR GLOBUS IN EUROPE IGE Partners Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Coordinator (LRZ) Technische Universität Dortmund (TUDO) University of Southampton (SOTON) The University of Edinburgh (EPCC) Poznan Supercomputing and Networking (PSNC) GridwiseTech (GWT) Technical University Cluj-Napoca (UTCN) Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) Uppsala University (UU) National Inst. for Nuclear and High Energy Physics (NIKHEF) The University of Chicago (UC) 9

10 Objectives 1 Coordination of European Globus activities Bundle European input to Globus Introduce adjustments critical for Europe into Globus code base Act as Globus service provider for European Grids like DEISA, PRACE, and EGI Measurement of Globus software quality Standardization, training, promotion, documentation Organizing Globus Europe conference and Globus community forum 10

11 Objectives 2 Setting up mirror of globus.org for Europe Privacy concerns (European metrics collector?) Interoperability efforts (BES, SAML, JSDL, LCAS, accounting, etc.) Repository and web resource: Binary packages for AIX, SuSE,... Support for batch systems like LL, NQS2,... 11

12 Workpackages WP1: Management (LRZ) WP2: Community Involvement, Dissemination, Training (TUDO) WP3: International collaboration and standardization (SOTON) WP4: Software adaptions (EPCC) WP5: Infrastructure support (PSNC) WP6: Test and maintenance (UU) Cross WP activities: security (NIKHEF) QA (UTCN) industry relations (GWT) Globus core contact (UC) 12

13 Development Cycle WP4 will perform software adaptions to European requirements on demand New PDCA cycle every 6 months Initial tasks: porting OGSA-DAI to GT5 porting GridWay to GT5 AdHoc-GSI integration VOMS, LCAS/LCMAPS site access control OGSA-BES/JSDL enhancements to work with GT5 13

14 Fact Sheet Globus Europe session at OGF28, March 15-19, 2010, Munich, Germany Duration: 30 months Expected start date: Autumn 2010 currently being reviewed by EU 14

15 Summary Vision: One-stop shop for Globus in Europe Advance research in Europe Bundle and coordinate European Globus efforts: usage and development Develop and contribute missing functionality Service provider for European Grids Second level support for Globus in Europe Spread Globus usage in Europe 15
