2. Globus To make productions and analyses on a Grid some basic services (security, information service, resource management, …) must be implemented as first step Globus identified as possible Grid framework providing these services … but it has been developed mainly for traditional computing, different from computing in HEP High throughput vs. High performance PC farms vs Supercomputers Distributed data intensive computing Need to assess what can be used for HEP environment (PC clusters, distributed PB of data, …) WP1 Installation and Evaluation of the Globus Toolkit of the INFN- GRID Project Goal: evaluation of the Globus toolkit Which services can be useful ? What is necessary to integrate/modify ? What is missing ? Duration: 6 months Results of this first evaluation used to plan future activities

3. Globus: Tasks Globus deployment Reduce complexity and manpower for Globus installation and maintenance Security To access GRID resources mechanisms for user authentication needed Evaluation of GSI service (based on certificates) Information Service To discover the GRID resources (CPU, storage, network, …) mechanisms to publish them must be defined Analysis of GIS service to publish information using a uniform and standard interface Resource Management Necessary a uniform interface to submit jobs on GRID resources Uniform standard interface to different resource management systems Uniform standard language for task management Assessment of Globus GRAM service for resource allocation and process management

4. Globus: Tasks Data Access and Migration High performance and reliable tools needed to manage data (data transfers, wide area replica between regional centers, …) Assessment of Globus tools for data management (GASS, Globus ftp) Fault Monitoring Faults in a GRID environment must be promptly detected and recovery mechanisms must be implemented Evaluation of HBM service for fault detection Execution Environment Management Code migration (moving the application where the job will actually be executed) as a possible implementation strategy Evaluation of GEM service to support code migration

5. Globus: Deliverables & Milestones Deliverables Tools, documentation and operational procedures for Globus deployment (6 Months) Final report on suitability of the Globus toolkit as basic Grid infrastructure (6 Months) Milestones Basic deployment Grid infrastructure for the INFN GRID (6 months)

9. Globus: First Activities and Results Security Globus architecture for authentication evaluated Reliable, but some improvements needed … Use of INFN Certification Authority to issue Globus certificates: ok Resource Management (activities strictly related with workload management WP) Job submission tests on remote GRID resources considering different underlying resource management systems (Condor, LSF, PBS) Evaluation of Globus Resource Specification Language as uniform language to specify resources Cooperation with Grid Information Service Information on characteristics and status of local resources must be published

10. Workload Management in the DataGrid project (WP 1) Goal: define and implement a suitable architecture for distributed scheduling and resource management in a GRID environment Large heterogeneous environment Large numbers (thousands) of independent users Many challenging issues : Optimizing the choice of execution location based on the availability of data, computation and network resources Optimal co-allocation and advance reservation of CPU, data, network Uniform interface to possible different local resource management systems Priorities, policies on resource usage Reliability Fault tolerance Scalability … INFN responsibility in DataGrid
