EGEE gLite and CrossGrid Performance Tools
Hands-On Tutorial
Abstract:
The tutorial is designed for new and prospective
users of EGEE infrastructure who want to get familiar with Grid
Computing. It covers introduction to basic grid concepts, grid
middleware components and gaining an end-user experience from
interacting with the Grid. The focus is aimed at the upcoming version
of EGEE middleware - gLite.
In the first part an overview of
the EGEE infrastructure is given. It highlights potential benefits one
can derive from using the Grid and describes briefly the computational
model provided by EGEE.
The second part focuses on the Grid
middleware. It describes its components and presents how they interact
with one another during job processing. Resource and data management
facilities are covered here. This section of the tutorial is based on
the new grid middleware - the successor of LCG called gLite -
highlighting major differences/improvements from LCG middleware.
The
third part is a hands-on guide with practical examples on how to submit
and then control jobs on the Grid and how to provide data control using
gLite. Additionally, OCM-G and G-PM - tools for application performance
monitoring in grid environment developed in CrossGrid Project will be
presented.
