Scientific Results Obtained Using Grid Technology
Oral
Ion kinetic transport application allowed the estimation of ion collisional transport both in tokamaks and stellarators, showing properties that could not be found by the customary methods: transport is not diffusive and that there exist important asymmetries, oppositely to what was thought. Further improvements of the applications are ongoing.
MaRaTra calculations have allowed to estimate...

There are two kinds of parallel loop schedulers to distribute program loops among the processors of a
parallel architecture: static and dynamic scheduling. In this work, we will focus on dynamic schedulers because they are more suitable for heterogeneous environments such as a Grid. In general, in these algorithms a central node dynamically distributes a fraction of the computational...

The interfacing process has been realized with the different operations made by an end-user in mind, when he wants to authenticate and submit a job on the grid. First the creation of an actor making the voms-proxy-init operation was needed to create a temporary proxy as well as returning informations concerning his role in his Virtual Organization. Then the creation of several separate actors...

Application Porting and Deployment
Oral
Two examples of CPU-intensive numerical optimisation applications were found in Russian nuclear fusion and plasma science: optimisation of stellarator magnetic field configuration and optimisation of the reflectometry radiowave shape in ITER plasma.
The first application has been successfully ported from a supercomputer to the EGEE infrastructure. This porting has revealed two issues. First,...
