  2. GridLab • EU funded project, involving 11 European and 3 American partners, • January 2002 – December 2004 • Main goal: to develop the Grid Application Toolkit(GAT) and set of grid services and tools... • resource management (GRMS), • data management, • monitoring, • adaptive components, • mobile user support, • security services, • portals, ... and test them on a real testbed with real applications Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  3. GridLab Members • PSNC (Poznan) - coordination • AEI (Potsdam) • ZIB (Berlin) • Univ. of Lecce • Cardiff University • Vrije Univ. (Amsterdam) • SZTAKI (Budapest) • Masaryk Univ. (Brno) • NTUA (Athens) • Sun Microsystems • Compaq (HP) • ANL (Chicago, I. Foster) • ISI (LA, C.Kesselman) • UoWisconsin (M. Livny) • collaborating with: • Users! • EU Astrophysics Network, • DFN TiKSL/GriKSL • NSF ASC Project • other Grid projects • Globus, Condor, • GrADS, • PROGRESS, • GriPhyn/iVDGL, • CrossGrid and all the other European Grid Projects (GRIDSTART) • other... Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  4. What our users want... • Two primary applications: Cactus and Triana • other application communities are also being engaged, • Application oriented environment • Resources (grid) on demand • Adaptive applications – adaptive grid environment • job checkpoint, migration, spawn off a new job when needed, • Open, pervasive, not even restricted to a single Virtual Organization • The ability to work in a disconnected environment • start my job on a disconnected laptop; migrate it to grid when it becomes available • from laptops to fully deployed Virtual Organisations • Mobile working • Security Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  5. What our users want... (cont.) • The infrastructure must provide capabilities to customise choice of service implementation (e.g.using efficiency, reliability, first succeeding, all) • Advance reservation of resources, • To be able to express their preferences regarding their jobs on one hand and to understand the resource policies on the other hand, • Policy information and negotiation mechanisms • what is a policy of usage of the remote resources? • Prediction-based information • How long will my job run on a particular resource? • What resources do I need to complete the job before deadline? Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  6. The Grid is complex … Application “Is there a better resource I could be using?” SOAP WSDL Corba OGSA Other Monitoring Profiling Information Logging Security Notification Resource Management Application Manager Migration Data Management GLOBUS Other Grid Infrastructure Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  7. …need to make it easier to use Application “Is there a better resource I could be using?” GAT_FindResource( ) GAT The Grid (services and other infrastructure) Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  8. The Same Application … Laptop Super Computer The Grid Application Application Application GAT GAT GAT Firewall issues! No network! Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  9. GAT: What is It? GAT: Grid Application Toolkit • Implements the GAT-API • Used by applications (different languages) • GAT Adaptors • Connect to capabilities/services • GAT Engine • Provides the functionbindings for the GAT-API Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  10. GAT • More or less … • Set of calls GAT_ToolOrService(arguments) • Your chosen tools/services: resource brokers, information servers, application managers, grid monitoring, data managers, notification, etc. • Set of APIs for dealing with the GAT (registration, information, errors, fault tolerance) Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  11. GridLab Architecture Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels

  12. More info / summary • www.GridLab.org • gridlab@gridlab.org, news@gridlab.org • office@gridlab.org • You’re welcome to join our testbed and test our software, • Bring your application and test it with the GAT and our services. • We are open for collaborations! Next GridLab conference and workshop 31 March – 9 April, Eger (Hungary) http://www.congressteam2000.hu/gridlab/ Grids Info Day, 25 March 2003, Brussels
