  3. PRAGMAhttp://www.pragma-grid.net • 2002 - • Goals • Open international organization • Grid applications, practical issues • Build international scientific collaborations • Members and community • 28 institutional members, 11 countries • >38 inst. >14 countries are actively involved • Characteristics • No central funding, but mutual interests • Build friendship, trust, help, community • Do, act • Working groups • Bio, data, resources, telescience, geosciences, … • Semi-annual Workshops

  4. The PRAGMA Steering Committee http://www.pragma-grid.net/steering_committee.htm

  5. Pragma Grid testbed and Routine-basis Experiements • 2004 - • Goal – make grid easier for scientists to use, by improving • middleware interoperability • Global grid usability and productivity • Method • For applications. Let applications drive • More organized testbed operation • Full-scale and integrated testing/research • Long application runs • Learn issues, develop/research/test solutions • Manners • Grass-roots • Voluntary, contribute of resources and work • long term, persistent • Inclusion: don’t have to be PRAGMA member or pacific rim • General science grid

  11. Ninf-Ghttp://ninf.apgrid.org • Developed by AIST, Japan • Support GridRPC model which will be a GGF standard • Integrated to NMI release 8 (first non-US software in NMI) • Ninf roll for Rocks 4.x is also available • 3 applications ran in PRAGMA grid and 1 ran on GIN testbed (multi-grids) • TDDFT • QM/MD • FMO • Achieved long runs(1 week ~ 50 days) • Improved fault-tolerance (papers) - hang • Simplified deployment procedures • Speed-up development cycles

  12. Nimrod/Ghttp://ninf.apgrid.org • Developed by Monash University, Australia • Supports large scale parameter sweeps on Grid infrastructure • Easy user interface - portal • 3 applications ran in PRAGMA grid and 1 will run in GIN testbed (multi-grids) • Savanah climate simulation (MU) • GAMESS/APBS (UZurich) • Siesta (UZurich) • Achieved long runs (90 different scenarios of 6 weeks each • Improved fault-tolerance (innovate time_step) • Speed-up enhancements

  13. Mpich-Gxhttp://www.moredream.org/mpich.htm • KISTI, Korea • Grid-enabled MPI, support • Private IP • Fault tolerance • Application run on KGrid • MM5 • Climate simulation • CICESE, Mexico

  14. Infrastructure Middleware • Why grid infrastructure middleware • Provide grid services • Make grid easier to use and manage • Example grid infrastructure middleware • Grid file system • Gfarm (AIST, Japan) • Grid monitoring system • SCMSWeb (Kasetsart University, Thailand) • Grid accounting system • MOGAS (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)

  15. Gfarm – Grid Virtual File Systemhttp://datafarm.apgrid.org/ • Developed by AIST, Japan • High performance, scalable grid file system • Support Linux, Solaris; also scp, gridftp, SMB • Meta-server, file replication, Gfarm-FUSE • Ease user/application setup, file sharing (CSA), fault tolerance • 6 sites, 3786 GBytes, 1527 MB/sec (70 I/O nodes) • Tested with iGAP, large number of files, performance up >10x
