Third EELA Tutorial, Rio de Janeiro, 26-30 June 2006 FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409 E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America 3 More on Computing Elements (CE) Local Resource Manager (LRMS) –It is NOT a Grid component –Local administration –Dispatches job across Worker Nodes according to local policies –Accessed by local users Computing Element –Service oriented –Exports computing power of the LRMS to grid users Gatekeeper –Access point of the CE –Manages one or more job queues –Transparent interface to the LRMS Worker Nodes –More than one (cluster) –Execute both local jobs and grid jobs To execute grid jobs, a specific environment must be set

4. Third EELA Tutorial, Rio de Janeiro, 26-30 June 2006 FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409 E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America 4 Goals Presently on gLite –Grid users use the gLite middleware from Linux-based User Interfaces via CLI –(almost) All gLite resources are Linux-based This implies –Grid users need to be trained –Only Linux-based applications can be deployed onto the Grid Porting of gLite to Windows –User Interface –Computing Element (farm) new users come in to the grid ! windows applications can run on the grid !
