1. 4 december, 2006 1 DAS3-G5K Interconnection Workshop Hosted by the VU (Thilo Kielmann), Amsterdam Dick Epema (TUD) and Franck Cappello (INRIA) Parallel and Distributed Group

2. 4 december, 20062 Background Interoperability of grids is a hot topic The DAS3 and G5K are about the only true research grids around So a perfect situation to study operability issues in grids Already two years ago, initial discussions between Henri Bal and Franck Cappello Mathieu Jan is working on the interoperation of DAS3 and G5K (sept 06-feb 07 in Delft, mar 07-aug 07 in Paris)

3. 4 december, 20063 Purpose of the meeting To explore the opportunities and to identify the problems of the interoperation of the Dutch DAS3 and French Grid’5000 grids for research in resource management, middleware, and applications in large-scale, heterogeneous grids So, to answer questions like: how to manage user access across grid boundaries how to create compatible software environments in both grids how to run parallel applications across both grids how to schedule jobs across both grids At this point, the purpose is not to create a general interconnection of the DAS3 and Grid’5000 for everybody to freely use any resources in both systems
