The Grid Vision

Flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic
collections of individuals, institutions, and resource


From “The Anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations”
Enable communities (“virtual organizations”) to share
geographically distributed resources as they pursue common
goals -- assuming the absence of…




central location,
central control,
omniscience,
existing trust relationships.
The EDG Intro– Tutorial - n° 6
Grids: Elements of the Problem

Resource sharing



Sharing always conditional: issues of trust, policy, negotiation,
payment, …
Coordinated problem solving


Computers, storage, sensors, networks, …
Beyond client-server: distributed data analysis, computation,
collaboration, …
Dynamic, multi-institutional virtual orgs


Community overlays on classic org structures
Large or small, static or dynamic

WP2 (Data Management )
 WP2 is responsible for Data Management, which includes file and
replica management, metadata access and data security.
WP2 components:




Replica Manager: the main manager for triggering replica execution
all over the GRID, including replica optimization and interfacing the
replica catalog service
Replica Catalog: a GRID service used to resolve Logical File Names
into a set of corresponding Physical File Names – Globus Replica
Catalog and Replica Location Service (RLS)
GDMP: the GRID Data Mirroring Package, used to create replicas of
any filetype all over the GRID Storage Elements in a synchronized
way, by automatic updating the replica catalog
Spitfire: provides a Grid enabled middleware service for access to
relational databases : it consists of the Spitfire Server module and
the Spitfire Client libraries and command line executables.

WP3 : GRID Monitoring and Info
Providers

WP3’s task is to provide information about
The Grid itself
This includes information about resources (ComputingElements,
StorageElements and the Network), for which the Globus MDS is
a common solution; and job status information
(as implemented by WP1's Logging and Bookkeeping).
Grid applications
This is information published by user jobs. This is used for
performance monitoring.




WP5 delivers the Grid interface to Storage.
Its service, the Storage Element (SE) is interfacing to
underlying Mass Storage Systems or simple storage services.
Main interfaces:



Data, gridftp will be used to transfer files over the WAN and the
files will optionally be available to local nodes by NFS.
Information, Existing MDS information providers will be extended
to provide the extra information in the GLUE storage schema.
Control, functions such as reservation, pinning, deletion, and
transfer time estimation. Will provide an SRM 2 interface.
