3. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 Workload Management System WMS architecture reviewed To apply the lessons learned and addressing the problems with the first release of the software e.g. delegate some functionalities to pluggable modules, etc. To make easier the interoperability with other Grid frameworks To increase the reliability of the system To support new functionalities: User APIs (including a Java GUI) Job checkpointing Job partitioning Interactive jobs Dependencies of jobs Parallel jobs WP 1

5. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 Network Monitoring Architecture PCP (Probe Coordination Protocol, dev. by WP7) schedules all active network measurements and avoids conflicts. Standard and ad-hoc developed tools to measure network metrics PingEr, IperfEr, UDPmon, rTPL, SNMP proxy agent … Dedicated R-GMA infrastructure stores all network metrics and GridFTP logging. Producers for main network metrics are available. R-GMA Archiver will to keep historical network metrics values. WP 7

7. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 GetNetworkCost Suite getNetworkCost functions assist replica managers and resource brokering Based on various back-ends for flexibility: CGI,and Globus MDS back-ends in release 1 R-GMA back-end in release 2 Web Services back-end also under development Based on regular TCP throughput measurement. (release 1) Parameters to be added for enhanced precision: GridFTP logging information : the more the grid is used, the more precise are the results. historical data stored in R-GMA Archiver other network metrics (RTT, Jitter…) forecasting methods will be also tested. WP 7

11. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 Replica Selection WP7 providing the network information that serves as the basis for the replica selection Monitoring of network traffic between the 5 main TB sites Calculation of expected transfer time for files between given sites. Optimisation component of Reptor Services (WP2) Implemented as a stand alone web service Selection of best replicas based on network latencies Assist the resource broker in selecting the best CE for job scheduling based on access costs of replicas WP 2 & 7

12. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 Replica Location Service RLS: A Framework for Constructing Scalable Replica Location Services Joint collaboration between WP2 and Globus LRCs Independent local state maintained in Local Replica Catalogues : LRCs RLIs Unreliable collective state maintained in Replica Location Indices : RLIs Soft state maintenance of RLI state relaxed consistency in the RLI, full state information in LRC Membership and partitioning information maintenance RLS components change over time : failure, new components added Service discovery and system policies WP 2

13. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 The StorageElement TB2.0 will see the first production release of the SE control system For this first release the three interfaces to the outside world are: Data, gridftp will be used to transfer files over the WAN and the files will optionally be available to local nodes by NFS. Information, Existing MDS information providers will be extended to provide the extra information in the GLUE storage schema. Control, functions such as reservation, pinning, deletion, and transfer time estimation. The SE control interface to a generic MSS has already been tailored for CERN and RAL and tested there. Work is under way with IN2P3, WP10, and WP9 to adapt it to their MSS. WP 5

14. GridPP 6 th Collaboration Meeting – 30-31 Jan. 2003 – n° 1 R-GMA: Information & Monitoring A relational implementation of GMA Relational model is better able to describe real world systems than the hierarchical Applied to both information and monitoring Creates impression that you have one RDBMS per VO Not a general distributed RDBMS system, but a way to use the relational model in a distributed environment where global consistency is not important. Supports streaming Producer Consumer Registry Store location Lookup location Execute or stream Producers Announce:SQL "CREATE" Producers Publish:SQL "INSERT" Consumers Collect:SQL "SELECT" WP 3
