1. Short overview
The Experiment Dashboard is a monitoring system initially developed for
the LHC experiments to provide the view of the Grid infrastructure from
the perspective of the LHC virtual organization.
The poster describes the first experience of the deployment and usage of
the system outside the LHC community, for monitoring of medical applications on the Grid.
3. Impact
fMRI studies are data intensive, since large amounts of data are stored,
analyzed and manipulated. They require high throughput computation on
demand for real-time image analysis and for large-scale studies.
Collaboration and distributed computing are essential, in particular for
multi-center studies, where data is distributed. Using the Grid
infrastructure is a natural choice in order to satisfy the requirements
mentioned above.
On the other hand the fMRI users (in particular psychologists, psychiatrists,
radiologists, etc.) typically have limited background in computing and
therefore need a user-friendly environment, which would enable the
preparation, submission and monitoring of their jobs on the Grid. The Experiment Dashboard is
providing the job monitoring functionality for the fMRI users and VO
supporters.
4. Conclusions / Future plans
The first experience of using the Experiment Dashboard by the VL-fMRI
community was positive. It was proven that the system, initially developed
for the High Energy Physics community, is flexible enough and provides
the necessary functionality to be easily adapted to the needs of users
of completely different fields.
