    Description

    Interconnecting Desktop and Service Grids - Impact on applications and the role of standards (1/2) (90 mins)
    Peter Kacsuk and Vangelis Floros

    The proposed sessions will be organised jointly by EDGeS and EGEE. EDGeS is a European FP7 project with the goal of integrating service grids with various desktop grids. The selected service grid to produce a production EDGeS infrastructure is EGEE and the selected desktop grids are BOINC and XtremWeb. The current EDGeS infrastructure integrates the EDGeS VO of EGEE with the following desktop grids:
    - SZTAKI desktop grid (public BOINC DG)
    - Extremadura desktop grid (public BOINC DG)
    - Univ. Westminster desktop grid (private BOINC DG)
    - Correlation Systems Ltd. desktop grid (private BOINC DG)
    - CNRS IN2P3 desktop grid (public and private XtremWeb DGs)
    - AlmereGrid (public XtremWeb DG)
    The primary goal of this session is to show for the EGEE users how the EDGeS technology can support their applications with an increased size of production grid system that contains computing resources from home PCs, school PCs, university PCs and town citizens' PCs. The session will also provide a large set of application porting case studies to show how EGEE applications and DG applications can be ported to EDGeS. Standards play a significant role in bridging the two worlds of Desktop and Service Grids. The session will also give the opportunity to present standards important for such Grid interoperation, their current status, potential gaps and discuss them with related OGF WGs.

    Note that although the selected service grid is EGEE and the selected desktop grids are BOINC and XtremWeb, EDGeS considers the standardization of integrating other type of service and desktop grids in the future and hence the session could be useful to users of other types of grids like GT4, Unicore, etc.

    The session will consist of two subsessions with the following goals:

    Subsession 1 will introduce the EDGeS project and explains the bridging technology that was developed in EDGeS in order to integrate EGEE with BOINC and XtremWeb based desktop grids and the grid standards used to achieve this. This subsession will also explain the structure and usage of the production EDGeS infrastructure that integrates the EDGeS VO of EGEE with several desktop grids. The relationship between GIN (OGF) standards and EDGeS will also be highlighted by Erwin Laure. Finally, a presentation will be given on the application porting technology that was developed in EDGeS in order to migrate existing EGEE and desktop grid applications into EDGeS and also to develop new applications for EDGeS.

    Subsession 2 will introduce and describe those applications that are either already ported into EDGeS or under porting. These applications originally were either DG or EGEE applications. The presentations will show in detail how DG and EGEE applications were actually ported into EDGeS. The applications will cover a wide range of possible application fields showing that there is a large number of potential applications than can take advantage of the EDGeS infrastructure. This large selection of potential applications will help the EGEE users to decide if porting their current applications to EDGeS is feasible. The presentations are also planned to show that the actual migration of applications from EGEE to EDGeS is quite straightforward.

    At the end of subsession-2 a discussion forum enables the audience to ask questions and discuss issues with the EDGeS experts and with the session speakers.
