DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. BOURILKOV\, Dimitri (University of Florida (US))
 \nWe describe the work on creating system images of Lustre virtual clients
  in the ExTENCI project\, using several virtual technologies (KVM\, XEN\, 
 VMware). These virtual machines can be built at several levels\, from a ba
 sic Linux installation (we use Scientific Linux 5 as an example)\, adding 
 a Lustre client with Kerberos authentication\, and up to complete clients 
 including local or distributed (based on CernVM-FS) installations of the f
 ull CERN and project specific software stack for typical LHC experiments. 
 The level\, and size\, of the images are determined by the users on demand
 . Various sites and individual users can just download and use them out of
  the box on Linux/UNIX\, Windows and Mac OS X based hosts. We compare the 
 performance of virtual clients with that of real physical systems for typi
 cal high energy physics applications like Monte Carlo simulations or analy
 sis of data stored in ROOT trees.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDis
