Description

OGF-Europe Tutorial: Managing Computational Activities on the Grid - from Specifications to Implementation (1/2) (90 mins)
Sergio Andreozzi, Balazs Konya, Morris Riedel

This OGF-Europe tutorial will explore how current and upcoming OGF standards have made the interoperable submission, monitoring and controlling of computational activities in Grid systems a feature of Grid middleware.

Tutorial participants will gain new knowledge on a series of key specifications: BES (Basic Execution Service), JSDL (Job Submission Description Language), HPC Extensions (High-Performance Computing), GLUE (an information model for Grid resources).

Participants will learn about the on-going implementation work by leading European middleware providers.

Specific takeaways include insight into BES, JSDL, HPC extensions and GLUE standards, application scenarios, design choices and technical challenges for the transition from specifications to implementation.

Target audience: Grid developers and Grid advanced end-users
