1 OGCE Consortium Reusable Grid Portal Components Mary Thomas

2 OGCE Consortium Outline The Portal Challenge The Solution: –The Open Grid Computing Environments Consortium (OGCE) The OGCE Portal Architecture Application Portal Examples NMI OGCE Plans

3 OGCE Consortium The Portal Challenge

4 OGCE Consortium Portal User Interface Grid Resource Broker Service Grid and Web Protocols Information and Data Services Database Service Database HPC or Compute Cluster Grid Information Services, SRB Portal Client Stub Portal Client Stub Portal Client Stub JDBC, Local, or Remote Connection Three-Tiered Architecture Three-tiered architecture is accepted standard for accessing Grid and other services

5 OGCE Consortium Portal are Gateways to Grid Early Grid Portals were great success: –Applications oriented, –Provided scientists with some useful tools –Encapsulated some complexities. But they were: –All “stovepipe” solutions. Very little reusable code and infrastructure Nothing could be shared between portals –Many ignored emerging architecture of the Grid A framework based on distributed ubiquitous services

6 OGCE Consortium Impact of Distributed Grid and Web Services Resource layer 1000s of PCs ->massive supercomputers Grid Portals Launch, configure And control Application Interface Workflow service App Instance Security Data Management Service Data Management Service Accounting Service Accounting Service Logging Event/Mesg Service Event/Mesg Service Policy Administration & Monitoring Administration & Monitoring Grid Orchestration Registries and Name binding Registries and Name binding Reservations And Scheduling Reservations And Scheduling Open Grid Service Architecture Layer Open Grid Service Infrastructure (web service component model) Online instruments (slide by Dennis Gannon)

7 OGCE Consortium Advantage of Portlet Architecture Portlet/component approach very compatible with Web/Grid services model Each Grid service can be associated with a unique portlet –Very easy to add new services –Many different Groups can contribute portlets which can be plugged into a portal. Currently Indiana, Argonne, Michigan, NCSA,Texas + GridSphere portal group following this model. Most likely others as well. –Jetspeed is Apache standard. Basis for IBM WebSphere portal. Also Oracle, Sun and others. Now a Java Standard (waiting for JSR 168) User can select and configure portlets he/she wishes to use –Selection becomes part of persistent context

8 OGCE Consortium The Next Generation Grid Portal Building on Standard Technologies –Portlet Design (JSR-168) IBM, Oracle, Sun, BEA, Apache –Grid standards: Java CoG, Web/Grid Services –Web server: JetSpeed (open source) User configurable, Service Oriented –Philosophy: The Portal is a gateway to distributed Grid and Web Services With common API, portlets can be exchanged, interoperate Portal Server MyProxy Server Metadata Directory Service(s) Directory & index Services Application Factory Services Messaging and group collaboration Event and logging Services

9 OGCE Consortium User Requirements Have Not Changed Users & Clients are: –Portal clients/users –Portal developers Security –Single sign-on, authentication to all grid resources Certificate based / uses MyProxy –VO management File Management –Grid FTP –File staging –Metadata management Remote Job Management –Job submission, scheduling, and tracking. Log and output mgmt. –Workflow management tools

10 OGCE Consortium User Requirements Information Services –Grid resource and status information directories –Data and metadata catalogs –Personal and VO metadata and service index/directories –Database Interfaces Application Interfaces –Configure and launch workflow from domain specific interface Access to Collaboration Tools –VO collaboration. Synchronous and asynchronous –Access Grid venues Developers need common API

11 OGCE Consortium The Solution: The Open Grid Computing Environment (OGCE) Consortium

12 OGCE Consortium Open Grid Computing Environments (OGCE) Consortium Motivation: –Emerging technologies impacting portal developers: Grid/Web services; ubiquitous database use, XMl –Lessons learned from GCE-RG and other projects (GridPort/HotPage, Alliance Portal, DOE Components, NEESGrid, Gateway, GRaDS, others) –Multiple projects repeating similar tasks, work, development; OGCE established in Fall 2003 to foster collaborations and sharable components with portal developers worldwide.

13 OGCE Consortium OGCE Funded by: –NSF NMI: software releases will be part of NMI and synchronized with GRIDS releases –Also: NCSA Alliance, NPACI, DOE, NASA, others Release Schedule: –First Release: 11-15-03 –Next Release: April, 2004 Website: http://www.ogce.org

14 OGCE Consortium OGCE Tasks/Goals Development of interoperable Grid portal architecture –Define standards for common API’s between portlet service and remote services Establishment of a Grid Portal Collaboratory –Repository of portlet and portal service components An online forum for developers of Grid Portals The building of reusable portal components: –Can be integrated in a common portal container system Contribute to standards organizations: –NSF NMI program  software releases –GGF if appropriate or applicable

15 OGCE Consortium The OGCE Portal Architecture

16 OGCE Consortium OGCE Initial Architecture Portal Local Portlets Teamlets Proxy Portlets Jetspeed Internal Services Java COG API Java CoG Kit Grid Services Grid Protocols GRAM, MDS-LDAD MyProxy Service API CHEF Services Remote Interfaces CoG Stubs HTTP Grid Services Other Services SOAP Initial architecture aggregates multiple services into a single portal using portlet containers

17 OGCE Consortium OGCE Initial Arch: Features & Capabilities OGCE approach encompasses multiple portal development systems: –Preserving development investments Central portal system (Jetspeed) acts as a central portal container: –Portal responsible for managing the lifecycle of pluggable portal components, or portlets. Grid/computational portlets must provide services on the behalf of the user: –Not just a collection of links/static pages User view (from the left) is of a single portal composed of portlets.

18 OGCE Consortium Supports Aggregation of Diverse Tasks Portlets provide a uniform management interface to the portal (on the left) connect to heterogeneous set of APIs on the right. –First horizontal thread Portlets interact with web interfaces written in other languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, ColdFusion, etc. –Architecture for bridged support is depicted in the second horizontal thread Examples: –Locally running Myproxy Grid portlet uses Java CoG kit to interact with remote Grid services –Job Scheduler portlet uses GridPort Toolkit to submit job via Community Scheduling Frameworks (CSF) service –Teamlets (sharable portlets) share collaboration and Grid services, such as calendars, message boards, file services.

19 OGCE Consortium OGCE - Revised Architecture Revised portal architecture provides a unified interface for portal services. Supports aggregation of services in backend Portal Portlets and Teamlets Jetspeed Internal Services Service API Grid Protocols Grid Service Stubs Remote Content Services Remote Content Servers HTTP Grid Services Java CoG Kit Local Portal Services

20 OGCE Consortium Features All services will employ a single (generic) service API that allows them to be deployed and accessed in a uniform fashion. Developer then chooses (during portal configuration) the implementations of particular services. Services may be local, may access remote sites via Grid protocols, or may access remote content, such as web interfaces written in Perl. OGCE Twist: –Entire portal will auto-install and include all required software components

21 OGCE Consortium Key Technologies???? Core Portal Framework: –CHEF/JetSpeed (U. Mich) Core Grid Technologies: –JavaCoG (provides Globus interface) –GridPort Toolkit (aggregates JavaCoG, and other grid services)

23 OGCE Consortium TeraGrid Portal Access Point for TeraGrid Services Version 0: Collecting Initial Services –Public Information about Resources –Private Information for the developers. Version 1: User centered portal –HotPage/GridPort style access to user accounts, credentials, job submission & management. Version 2: Portals for Science Collaborations (Q3 2004) –Shared spaces, whiteboards, AG access, group authorization, shared application services
