The Grid Effort at UF
Presented by Craig Prescott
Overview of UF Grid Activities
• Leadership• Funded Grid Projects / Activities• Middleware R&D• Application Integration
Grid Members
• Professors– Avery– Ranka
• Researchers– Bourilkov– Cavanaugh– Fu– Kim– Prescott– Rodriguez
• Ph.D. Students– Chitnis (Sphinx)– In (Sphinx)– Kulkarni (Sphinx)
• Master Student– Khandelwal (CODESH)
• Former Master Students– Katageri (now at Linux Labs)– Arbree (now at Cornell)– Padala (now at Michigan)
Grid Leadership
• Avery– PI of GriPhyN ($11 M ITR Project)– PI of iVDGL ($13 M ITR Project)– Co-PI of CHEPREO– Co-PI of UltraLight– President of SESAPS
• Ranka– PI of Data Mining & exploration
Middleware for Grid and Distributed Computinhg ($1.5 M ITR Project)
– Project Co-lead for Sphinx– Senior Personnel on CHEPREO– PI MRI
• Bourilkov– Project Lead for CAVES and
CODESH• Cavanaugh
– Project Coordinator for UltraLight– Deputy Coordinator for GriPhyN– Project Co-Lead for Sphinx
• Prescott– Co-organised the Boston OSG
Technical Workshop– US-CMS Production Manager
• Rodriguez– Deputy Coordinator for iVDGL– Deployment Board Co-chair for
OSG• KIM
– Project Lead for GridCAT
GriPhyN / iVDGL
• Develop the technologies & tools needed to exploit a distributed cyberinfrastructure
• Apply and evaluate those technologies & tools in challenging scientific problems
• Develop the technologies & procedures to support a persistent cyberinfrastructure
• Create and operate a persistent cyberinfrastructure in support of diverse discipline goals
Sphinx
• Scheduling on a grid has unique requirements– Information– System
• Decisions based on global views providing a Quality of Service are important– Particularly in a resource
limited environment
• Sphinx is an extensible, flexible grid middleware which – Already implements many
required features for effective global scheduling
– Provides an excellent “workbench” for future activities!

CAVES & CODESH
• Concentrate on the interactions between scientists collaborating over extended periods of time
• Seamlessly log, exchange and reproduce results and the corresponding methods, algorithms and programs
Automatic and complete logging and reuse of work or analysis sessions (between checkpoints)
• Extend the power of users working or performing analyses in their habitual way, giving them virtual data capabilities
• Build functioning collaboration suites (stay close to users!)
• First prototypes use popular tools: Python, ROOT and CVS; e.g. all ROOT commands and CAVES commands available
Grid-enabled Analysis Environment
Grid3
• Task Force– Rodriguez member
• Operations Group– Online expert consultants– Prescott, Kim, Rodriguez
• Site Verification– Validates the grid middleware installation on a grid site– Prescott led development
• Monitoring– Kim, Prescott members of G3 Monitoirng grup
• Also of OSG mon tech group
• Grid3-Dev– Fu, Rodriguez, Prescott – Prescott maintains Grid3-Dev deployment at UF
GridCAT
Open Science Grid
• Avery senior member– Governance board– Steering committee?
• Deployment board Co-chair Rodriguez• Prescott, Kim Monitoring Technical Group

CMS Computing
• UF Coordinates the US-CMS Production Effort
• Over the past year, Prescott oversaw and was responsible for – 40% of the global CMS detector
simulation– 25% of the global CMS event
digitisation
• Prescott also assists in publishing the MC data to the FNAL Tier-1 and the UF Tier-2 sites
• Effort started in 2001 (pre-grid) with Bourilkov and Rodriguez– Produced all phases, including PU
Workshops
• Digital Divide Workshop Brazil– Avery
• OSG Boston– Prescott
• PNPA GGF Berlin– Cavanaugh
• UTB Grid Summer School– Rodriguez, Padala
CMS Application Integration
• Production and Virtual Data• Analysis and Virtual Data• ORCA on Grid3 in analysis Mode• 2001• 2002• 2003• 2004
Outreach
• FIU Grid3 Cluster– Rodriguez
• University of Chicago US-ATLAS Tier-2 Facility– Rodriguez
