Resource WG Summary Mason Katz, Yoshio Tanaka

Next generation resources on PRAGMA Status – Next generation resource (VM-based) in PRAGMA by UCSD (proof of concept almost done). – Next steps – CRAYON will be replaced by VM-based Rocks by PRAGMA18. (by next Jan) – Mason – Upgrade Gfarm to to – Increase storage in SDSC. – Cindy – NCHC creates a VM for WebOS and run on VC at UCSD (by Feb.) – Weicheng, Phil and Mason will visit Taichung in February. – Create VM for applications. Start with AvianFlu. Not a cluster but a single node system which automatically joins AvianFlu Grid. Issues: Automatic generation of host cert., etc. Document the processes Wilfred

GEO+Resource breakout Requirements for Tsukuba-GAMA – MyProxy CA, MyProxy Repository, Web server – Gridsphere – Can be installed on a single server – Installation on CentOS 5 must be easy. AIST will complete development and distribute (by SC09) San Diego will host Tsukuba-GAMA Cindy will be the CA (Tsukuba-GAMA) operator Run this on VM Procedure – Yoshio and Ryosuke will summarize procedure for issuing certificates. Draft CP/CPS (By Dec.) Timeline – Everything by PRAGMA 18

Resource Breakout Today – Future – What is next – Virtualization Tomorrow – Present and Planning – VOMS sessions – New work for existing application drivers – Globus GT5 end of 2009 GT 5.2 Q will include an RPM-based release

Are there missing pieces? If yes, what are they? Long term – Consider how VO-like security will be implemented on Cloud. What are requirements for applications? Step by step – 1 st step does not support Virtual Cluster Grid – 2 nd will support What are missing pieces?

Next generation resources on PRAGMA tangible next steps – Next generation resource in PRAGMA by UCSD (proof of concept almost done). – VM-based – CRAYON will be replaced by VM-based Rocks by PRAGMA18. (by next Jan) – Mason – Upgrade Gfarm to to – Increase storage in SDSC. – Cindy – NCHC creates a VM for WebOS and run on VC at UCSD (by Feb.) – Weicheng, Phil and Mason will visit Taichung in February. – Can we take application drivers?

(by next Jan) – Upgrade Gfarm to to – NCHC creates a VM for WebOS and run on VC at UCSD (by Feb.) – Phil and Mason will visit Taiwan in February. – Can we take application drivers? Start with AvianFlu. Document the processes – Run them in different hosting environment – built VM of libraries – Build geographically distributed virtual clusters Networking, scheduling are the issues products useful to others who will contribute Timeline be realistic identity opportunities to work together at PRAGMA 18

GEO+Resource breakout Current status: – PRAGMA VO is running and GEO Grid group is in it. Ryosuke is a Group admin and responsible for management of the group members. Future plan: –GEO would like to deploy Tsukuba-GAMA which manages user's credential (e.g. accounts, certificates, etc.). –It is expected to be used by PRAGMA members as well as non- PRAGMA –members such as GLEON and CREON. Issues to be discussed: –Which site is appropriate to install/host Tsukuba-GAMA server for this purpose? SDSC or AIST? –Who will manage Tsukuba-GAMA? –What should be the appropriate procedure for issuing certificate? We expect to give a demo at PRAGMA 18.
