1. Introduction
22/11/2006, 09:00
3. What is Grid Computing?
22/11/2006, 09:15
4. An overview of the EGEE project and middleware
22/11/2006, 10:00
EGEE has established an international grid infrastructure. This talk describes the activities and objectives of EGEE. It then outlines the major middleware services: Authorisation and Authentication Information Services Data Managament Workload management These will be used during the practicals later in the day on the GILDA grid. GILDA is a grid provided for training by the...
2. Authentication, Authorisation and Security
22/11/2006, 10:30
The fundamental challenges of grid computing are described: how can trust be established between sites and users?? How can security be protected when communication is across a public network? How are users authorised to use computers and data?
9. Using a certificate and simple job submission
22/11/2006, 11:15
We will use the basic commands for certificate management and for workload management.
5. Information systems on EGEE
22/11/2006, 12:15
An outline is given of information systems. The "BDII Information System" commands will be used to explore the GILDA grid. Grid monitoring tools are used to display the current state of the GILDA and EGEE production grids.
10. Data management
22/11/2006, 14:00
The management of files is described. Commands are used to read, write, replicate and list files on GILDA's storage.
8. Further exercises with gLite
22/11/2006, 15:45
So far we have looked at the different services of the EGEE middleware. Now we run a number of simple exercises and applications that show how to: 1. submit jobs that read/write files held on the EGEE Grid 2. use a script to submit jobs to run concurrently.
7. MyProxy and Portals: using GENIUS on GILDA
22/11/2006, 16:30
The MyProxy server stores and issues credentials. One of its uses is to allow users to access grid services from a browser, through a portal. In this practical MyProxy is introduced, and then the GENIUS portal on GILDA is used.
6. Closing discussion
22/11/2006, 17:15
11. Metadata: an introduction to AMGA
23/11/2006, 09:15
13. Using R-GMA to monitor applications
23/11/2006, 10:00
12. GFAL API: accessing files on storage elements
23/11/2006, 11:15
14. Application development for the EGEE grid
23/11/2006, 11:45
This talk explores the challenges of application development for grids, outlines some of the uses that different communities make of the EGEE infrastructure, and finally introduces some workload management functionality that will soon be available.
15. Porting your applications to the GILDA grid
23/11/2006, 14:00
Participants are asked to bring their own code and data for this practical. Programs should only take input from files and write output to files. (No interactive programs) They should compile on LINUX.
16. Porting applications, continued
23/11/2006, 15:45
17. End-of-day discussion
23/11/2006, 17:00
