GridLab Project
- A Grid Application Toolkit and Testbed
2002年1月1日——2005年1月1日
Project objectives
build components for Grid applications, and realistic testbeds for their development:
Co-development of Infrastructure and Applications
Dynamic Grid Computing
simulation and visualization codes to be self aware of the changing Grid environment, and to be able to fully exploit dynamic resources for fundamentally new and innovative applications scenarios.
These elements are included in developing innovative, yet practical, Grid computing technologies, which will then be immediately and easily adopted and exploited by applications from many different research and engineering fields. Specific key objectives are:
Design and develop a Grid Application Toolkit (GAT),
Simultaneously enhance real applications for the Grid,
Test Grid-enabled applications on real testbeds spanning Europe.
GridLab Aims
Get Computational Scientists using the "Grid" and Grid services for real, everyday, production work (AEI Relativists, EU Network, Gravity Wave Data Analysis, Cactus User Community).
Make it easier for applications to make flexible, efficient, robust, use of the resources available to their virtual organizations.
Dream up, prototype, and test new application scenarios which make adaptive, dynamic, wild, and futuristic uses of resources.
What GridLab Isn't …
Don't want to development low level Grid Infrastructure (just want to nudge it)
Don't want to repeat work which has already been done (want to incorporate and assimilate it … Globus APIs, ASC Portal (GridSphere/Orbiter), GPDK, GridPort, DataGrid, …)
Important Issues for GridLab
Apps are configurable!
Can be anything
Each module may (or may not!) know of what it needs
Estimate total resource needs FOR THAT CONFIG!!
Launch Job
Where Best choice Second best High Priority to get this!
