Application Porting and User Support

Description

A new feature of the third phase of the EGEE project is the NA4 Applications Porting Group to help users enable applications on the grid. Experts from the porting team work closely with application owners to understand their requirements and to identify suitable approaches, tools for the porting process and to set realistic and feasible porting scenarios. Intensive workshops and personalized training events organized by the team ensure that application owners become expert on porting tools that are relevant for them and can quickly and efficiently perform the porting process with the help of the porting team.

The session will include presentations from porting team members to show the latest tools, applications and techniques they have worked with. The second half of the session will feature discussions about current problems and issues related to application porting and developer support.

The session is useful for those who wish to port new applications to the EGEE grid, and/or would like to learn about environments, tools, services that are offered for end users and grid application developers by the EGEE community.

The webpage of the EGEE application porting team is available at www.lpds.sztaki.hu/gasuc. Here you can find further information about current applications, past success stories and how to apply for assistance.

  1. 332. Application Porting using DRMAA and Globus GridWay on the EGEE Infrastructure
    Mr Jose Luis Vazquez-Poletti (Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain))
    25/09/2008, 17:30
    The DRMAA specification aims to provide all the high level functionality which is necessary for an application to consign a job to a DRM system including common operations on jobs like termination or suspension. This Open Grid Forum specification is implemented by Globus GridWay, which is a widely-used metascheduling technology that performs job execution management and resource brokering,...

  2. 333. Application porting activities at INFN
    Dr Giuseppe La Rocca (GILDA)
    25/09/2008, 17:50
    The application porting activities at INFN aimed at supporting the gridification of two scientific applications. For both of them a computing Grid environment has been set up in order to allow : - a bioinformatics application: 1. to cope with the submission and the monitoring of a huge number of jobs and deal with possible failures and resubmissions. The Job Submission Tool (JST)...

  4. 335. Porting applications for a combined EGEE/Desktop Grid platform in the framework of the EDGeS infrastructure
    Mr Tamas Kiss (University of Westminster)
    25/09/2008, 18:30
    A large number of applications require such extensive computing power that existing scientific e-Infrastructures cannot provide. The FP7 founded EDGeS (Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science) project connects the largest European Service Grid infrastructure - the EGEE - to BOINC and XtremWeb based Desktop Grid systems. Making a bridge between these two types of Grid systems enables users to...
