  • The Translational Journey of the Htcondor-CE
    Journal of Computational Science xxx (xxxx) xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Computational Science journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jocs Principles, technologies, and time: The translational journey of the HTCondor-CE Brian Bockelman a,*, Miron Livny a,b, Brian Lin b, Francesco Prelz c a Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, USA b Department of Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, USA c INFN Milan, Milan, Italy ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Mechanisms for remote execution of computational tasks enable a distributed system to effectively utilize all Distributed high throughput computing available resources. This ability is essential to attaining the objectives of high availability, system reliability, and High throughput computing graceful degradation and directly contribute to flexibility, adaptability, and incremental growth. As part of a Translational computing national fabric of Distributed High Throughput Computing (dHTC) services, remote execution is a cornerstone of Distributed computing the Open Science Grid (OSG) Compute Federation. Most of the organizations that harness the computing capacity provided by the OSG also deploy HTCondor pools on resources acquired from the OSG. The HTCondor Compute Entrypoint (CE) facilitates the remote acquisition of resources by all organizations. The HTCondor-CE is the product of a most recent translational cycle that is part of a multidecade translational process. The process is rooted in a partnership, between members of the High Energy Physics community and computer scientists, that evolved over three decades and involved testing and evaluation with active users and production infrastructures. Through several translational cycles that involved researchers from different organizations and continents, principles, ideas, frameworks and technologies were translated into a widely adopted software artifact that isresponsible for provisioning of approximately 9 million core hours per day across 170 endpoints.

However, many EGI sites which are providing GPUs or MIC coprocessors to enable high performance processing are not directly supported yet in a federated manner by the EGI HTC and Cloud platforms. In fact, to use the accelerator cards capabilities available at resource centre level, users must directly interact with the local provider to get information about the type of resources and software libraries available, and which submission queues must be used to submit accelerated computing workloads.

  • Experimental Study of Remote Job Submission and Execution on LRM Through Grid Computing Mechanisms
    Experimental Study of Remote Job Submission and Execution on LRM through Grid Computing Mechanisms Harshadkumar B. Prajapati Vipul A. Shah Information Technology Department Instrumentation & Control Engineering Dharmsinh Desai University Department Nadiad, INDIA Dharmsinh Desai University e-mail: [email protected], Nadiad, INDIA [email protected] e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract —Remote job submission and execution is The fundamental unit of work-done in Grid fundamental requirement of distributed computing done computing is successful execution of a job. A job in using Cluster computing. However, Cluster computing Grid is generally a batch-job, which does not interact limits usage within a single organization. Grid computing with user while it is running. Higher-level Grid environment can allow use of resources for remote job services and applications use job submission and execution that are available in other organizations. This execution facilities that are supported by a Grid paper discusses concepts of batch-job execution using LRM and using Grid. The paper discusses two ways of middleware. Therefore, it is very important to preparing test Grid computing environment that we use understand how a job is submitted, executed, and for experimental testing of concepts. This paper presents monitored in Grid computing environment. experimental testing of remote job submission and Researchers and scientists who are working in higher- execution mechanisms through LRM specific way and level Grid services and applications do not pay much Grid computing ways. Moreover, the paper also discusses attention to the underlying Grid infrastructure in their various problems faced while working with Grid published work.
