4. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 4 Why is integration with EGEE so important? Tycoon proposes a new way to understand and organize the trade of resources EGEE II has more than 160 sites (the largest Grid) Small and medium VOs could be attracted by EGEE providing Tycoon based services Large non-partners could trade resources We could have a controlled market-based system inside our Grid, helping us to share resources more efficiently

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 5 Architecture NorduGrid (ARC) and BalticGrid (gLite) are using Tycoon in their Grids We're studying the proposal of BalticGrid for Tycoon integration Very special thanks to Per Oster (KTH), Amir H. Payberah (KTH), Lars Rasmusson (SICS) and Niklas Wirstrom (SICS) for their support

8. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 8 Limitations Virtual clusters are created on VO level VO agent has no information on the priority of individual jobs All the nodes of a virtual cluster have to be in the same LAN (for easier communication between CE and WNs and between different WNs) CEs must have public IP addresses

9. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 9 Our requirements Tycoon must allow ordinary gLite clusters to coexist on the same site Tycoon must be compatible with an EGEE certified operating system (SLC3/SLC4) Only users belonging to the VO to which the CE belongs, are allowed to submit jobs to that CE The system must be implemented using existing components from both Tycoon and gLite software The security of the overall system must not be weakened

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 10 Collaboration with BalticGrid We both are about in the same stage and joining efforts Working in a new Tycoon-gLite implementation (compatible with latest Bank and SLS provided by HP Labs) Merging our environments creating a “tycoonized” EGEE-BalticGrid site Preparing scalability and security tests

11. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 EGEE User Forum 2007, Manchester (UK) 11 Conclusions Tycoon integration with EGEE could improve both platforms The proposed architecture is easy to implement It's fully-transparent for normal users It could help us to share and trade resources more efficiently
