11 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 ChE Portal Project Plan Grid Asset Deployment Client: KU Host: KU or NCSA or BU Grid Services Used Globus Resource Allocation Manager Grid FTP Computation Distribution (File Xfer Load) Direct to Host Job Submission (Null) Client- Job Submission; Host- Simulation (Negligible) Client- Simulation; Host- ODE Solver (Light) Client- Solver; Host- Derivative Evaluation (Heavy )

13 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 ChE Portal Project Conclusions Conclusions The Cost For The Benefits Associated With The Use Of Grid Enabled Assets Appears Negligible. The Portal Provides Robust Mechanisms For Managing Grid Distributed Computations. The Cost Of File Transfer Standard Procedures As A Message Passing Mechanism Is Extremely High. Recommendation A High Priority Must Be Assigned To Development Of High Performance Alternatives To Standard File Transfer Protocols.

14 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 Cactus Project Plan Grid Asset Deployment Client: KU Host: NCSA (O2K, IA32 Cluster, IA64 Cluster) Grid Services Used MPICH-G Cactus Environment Evaluation Shared Memory : Message Passing Problem Size: 5x10 5 – 1x10 8 Algebraic Equations Grid Assets: 0.5 – 8.0 O2K Processor Minutes 0.1 – 4.0 IA32 Cluster Processor Minutes Application Script Use

15 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 Cactus Project Results

16 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 Cactus Project Conclusions Conclusions The IA32 Cluster Outperforms O2K On The Small Problems Run To Date. (IA32 Faster Than O2K; IA32 Speedup Exceeds O2K Speedup.) The Cluster Computations Appear To Be Somewhat Fragile. (Convergence Problems Encountered Above 28 Cluster Node Configuration; Similar (?) Problems With The IA64 Cluster.) The Grid Service (MPICH-G) Evaluation Has Only Begun. Recommendations Continue The Planned Evaluation of Grid Services. Continue The Planned IA64 Cluster Evaluation.

17 NeSC Workshop July 20, 2002 Overall Conclusions The University Of Kansas Is Actively Involved In Developing The Grid Enabled Computation Culture Appropriate To Its Research & Teaching Missions. Local Computation Assets Appropriate To Topical Application Development And Use Are Necessary. Understanding Of And Access To Grid Enabled Assets Are Necessary.
