• Introduction • What is GridWay? • Architecture & Components • Scheduling Policies • Examples of Grid Deployments • WSRF Interface for GridWay • Sun Grid Engine Integration Introduction
z Resource selection: Where do I execute my job ? z Resource preparation: What do I need? z Job submission: How do I submit my job? z Job monitoring: How is my job doing? z Job migration: Is there any better resource? z Job termination: How do I get my output? Introduction z Meta-scheduler: Job to resource (other schedulers) matching (execution management). z Goal: Optimize the performance according to a given metric (performance model):
• Global Throughput
• Resource usage
• Application (ALS) – Stand-alone, HPC, HTC and self-adaptive
• User usage z Grid characteristics
• Heterogeneity (job requirements)
• Dynamism (high fault rate, load, availability, price)
• Site autonomy What is GridWay?
The GridWay meta-scheduler is a scheduler virtualization layer on top of basic Globus services (GRAM, MDS & GridFTP)
For the user • A LRM-like environment for submitting, monitoring, and controlling jobs For the developer • An standard-base development framework for Grid Applications For the sysadmin • A policy-driven job scheduler • User-side Grid Accounting For the Grid architect / solution provider • A modular component to use different infrastructures • A key component to deploy different Grids What is GridWay?

• Rank Expressions • Fixed Priority Resource Policies • User Usage History • Failure Rate
Grid Scheduling = Job + Resource Policies
Pending Matching Resources for each job (user) Jobs Job Policies
• Fixed Priority • Urgent Jobs • User Share • Deadline • Waiting Time Enterprise Grids
Characteristics
“Small” scale infrastructures (campus/enterprise) with one meta-scheduler instance
Resources within the same administration domain that may be running different LRMS and be geographically distributed z Goal & Benefits
Integrate heterogeneous systems
Improve return of IT investment
Performance/Usage maximization Enterprise Grids
Architecture Examples
Applications European Space Astronomy Center • DRMAA interface • Data Analysis from space missions • Portal Users • DRMAA • Command Line Interface
GridWay • One meta-scheduler • Grid-wide policies UABGrid, University of Alabama • Bioinformatics applications Globus Globus Globus Middleware
SGE Cluster PBS Cluster LSF Cluster
Infrastructure Partner Grids
Characteristics
“Large” scale infrastructures with one or several meta-schedulers
Resources belong to different administrative domains Goal & Benefits
Large-scale, secure and reliable sharing of resources
Support collaborative projects
Access to higher computing power to satisfy peak demands Partner Grids Architecture Examples
