University of Reading

Description

Using the GILDA testbed, participants will gain familiarity with the main services provided by the EGEE middleware.

Following an overview of datamanagement,information systems and job submission, emphasis is upon how applications can be run on GILDA.

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
