28. ATLAS Analysis on ARC

Erik Mattias Wadenstein (NDGF)

03/11/2010, 13:30

An overview and in places detailed case study on how atlas analysis jobs work on ARC CEs currently, and a look at future developments. With some efficiency and cache utilization numbers.

19. Access Grid via Web

Dr Federico Calzolari (Scuola Normale - INFN)

03/11/2010, 14:00

L-GRID is a light portal to access Grid infrastructure via Web browser, allowing users to submit their jobs in a few minutes, without any knowledge about the Grid infrastructure. The portal is intended to be a helpful tool to access Grid resources shared all around the world via a simple Web interface, using whatever operating system and browser. It provides the control over the complete...

70. VOMS/VOMRS Convergence

Mr Andrea Ceccanti (INFN)

03/11/2010, 14:30

The Grid community uses two well-established registration services, which allow users to be authenticated under the auspices of Virtual Organizations (VOs). The Virtual Organization Membership Service (VOMS), developed in the context of the Enabling Grid for E-sciencE (EGEE) project, is an Attribute Authority service that issues attributes expressing membership information of a subject within...

26. CloudCRV - Cluster Deployment and Configuration Automation on the Cloud

Yushu Yao (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (LBNL))

03/11/2010, 15:00

With the development of virtualization technology and IaaS cloud, it is much easier for users to obtain large number of computing (virtual) resource. However, customizing these resources as a computing clusters remains a difficult task that requires in-depth IT knowledge and complex user-specific customizations. We develop a tool called CloudCRV (Cloud-Cluster-Role-VMs) to help users design,...

3. FermiCloud - Current Status

Dr Keith Chadwick (Fermilab)

05/11/2010, 09:00

The current status of FermiCloud will be presented together with the experience and "lessons learned".

6. The CERN internal cloud infrastructure: a status report

Ulrich Schwickerath (CERN)

05/11/2010, 09:30

CERNs virtualization plans have been presented during the last HEPiX meetings. Since the last HEPiX meeting, the ideas have materialized in a prototype which was used to perform large scale scalability tests of the batch system LSF. This presentation will give an overview over the architecture of the new infrastructure, and report on the experiences and lessons we learned when growing the...

35. StratusLab, mixing grid and clouds

Michel Jouvin (LAL / IN2P3)

05/11/2010, 10:30

StratusLab (StratusLab.eu) is a two-year European FP7 project (from 1 June 2010) that aims to provide a production-quality, open source cloud (“Infrastructure as a Service” or IaaS) distribution. StratusLab will integrate, distribute, and maintain this cloud distribution to bring cloud technology to end-users and resource providers of existing distributed computing infrastructures like...

71. Magellan at NERSC: A Testbed to Explore Cloud Computing for Science

Iwona Sakrejda (LBNL/NERSC)

05/11/2010, 11:00

Cloud computing is gaining a foothold in the business world, but can clouds meet the specialized needs of scientists? That is the question NERSC’s Magellan cloud computing test bed is exploring. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the system is distributed between DOE centers: the National Energy Research Scientific...
