Enabling Technologies and Projects
EU-funded DataGrid Project aims to develop,
implement and exploit a computational and dataintensive grid of resources for the analysis of
scientific data.
www.eu-datagrid.org

Enabling Technologies and Projects
The Globus Project conducts research and
development on the application of Grid concepts to
scientific and engineering computing. The Globus
Project provides software tools (the Globus Toolkit)
that make it easier to build computational grids and
grid-based applications.
www.globus.org
Quanta, the Quality of Service (QoS) Adaptive
Networking Toolkit, is backward compatible with
CAVERNsoft, and provides application developers
with an easy-to-use system to efficiently utilize the
extremely high bandwidth afforded by optical
networks. .

APBioGrid of APBioNet
• Bio Informatics Centre (BIC) National University of Singapore
• Kooprime, Singapore
• Cray, Singapore
Using BIC’s APBioGrid (the Asia Pacific
Bioinformatics Grid, a collection of networked
computational resources) and KOOP testbed
technology, biologists can quickly build a
complex series of computations and database
management activities on top of computational
grids to solve real-world problems.
APBioGrid mimics tasks typical of a bioinformatician – it does resource
discovery over the network, remotely distributing tasks that perform data
acquisition, data transfer, data processing, data upload to databases, data
analysis, computational calculations and visualizations.

Bandwidth Gluttony ― Distributed Grid-Enabled
Particle Physics Event Analysis
• Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), USA
• Caltech, USA
• CERN (EU DataGrid Project)
This demonstration is a joint effort between Caltech (HEP) and ANL
(Globus/GridFTP). Requests for remote virtual data collections are issued by
Grid-based software that is itself triggered from a customized version of the
High-Energy Physics (HEP) analysis tool called ROOT. These requests cause
the data to be moved across a wide-area network using both striped and
standard GridFTP servers.
In addition, at iGrid, an attempt is made to saturate a 10Gbps link between
Amsterdam, ANL and StarLight and a 2.5Gbps link between Amsterdam and
CERN, using striped GridFTP channels and specially tuned TCP/IP stacks
applied to memory-cached data.

Fine Grained Authorization for GARA
Automated Bandwidth Reservation
• University of Michigan, USA
• CERN
This demonstration shows modifications to the Globus General-purpose
Architecture for Reservation and Allocation (GARA). Also shown is a secure
and convenient Web interface for making reservation requests based on
Kerberos credentials.
GARA modifications are demonstrated by reserving bandwidth for a video
application running between sites with distinct security domains. Traffic
generators overload the router interface servicing the video receiver, degrading
the video quality when bandwidth is not reserved.

Image Feature Extraction on a Grid Testbed
• National Center for High Performance Computing, Taiwan
• Institute of Statistical Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan
• High Performance Computing Center, Rechenzentrum Universität Stuttgart
For medical imagery (confocal laser-scanning
microscopes, CT, MRI and PET), NCHC does
image processing, analysis and 3D reconstruction.
For biotechnology imagery (e.g., microarray
biochips), NCHC uses a data clustering procedure
for feature extraction that provides insight into an
image, such as identifying diseases caused by
some protein.
Grid techniques enable the use of distributed computing resources and shared
data. High-speed networks enable fast processing; typical medical doctors
want the procedure accomplished in 5 seconds for use in daily operations.

TeraScope: Visual Tera Mining
• Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University

• National Center for Data Mining, UIC, USA
TeraScope is a massively parallelized set of
information visualization tools for Visual Data Mining
that interactively queries and mines terabyte datasets,
correlates the data, and then visualizes the data using
parallelized rendering software on tiled displays.
TeraScope’s main foci are to develop techniques to create TeraMaps
(visualizations that summarize rather than plot enormous datasets) and to
develop a distributed memory cache to collect pools of memory from optically
connected clusters. These caches are used by TeraScope to bridge the
impedance mismatch between large and slow distributed data stores and fast
local memory.

TeraVision: Visualization Streaming over Optical Networks
• Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA
TeraVision is a hardware-assisted, high-resolution
graphics streaming system for the Access Grid, enabling
anyone to deliver a presentation without installing
software or distributing data files in advance.
A user giving a presentation on a laptop or showing
output from a node of a graphics cluster plugs the VGA
or DVI output of the computer into the TeraVision Box.
The box captures the signal at its native resolution, and
digitizes and broadcasts it to another networked
TeraVision Box, which is connected to a PC and DLP
projector. Two Boxes can be used to stream stereoscopic
computer graphics. Multiple Boxes can be used for an
entire tiled display.
