Globus SGE/Broker on Top of SGE

• Demo'd at Argonne National Lab ANL, ARL Army
  Research Lab, Raytheon, and San Diego SDSC
• On 2 SGE clusters (eg SDSC, 30 cpus and 70
  cpus)
• Globus/SGE interaction through GRAM scripts
• Globus jobs from ANL submitted to ARL cluster
• Next step SGE/EE on top of Globus

14
SGE/Broker as Part of Globus

• SGE Scheduling decisions to select remote site
• SGE acting as the resource broker for Globus
• Globus multi-site communication, authentication,
  security, file transfers,...
• SGE/Globus interface to be developed
• SGE/Broker submits and tracks jobs to remote
  systems using Globus services

15
Sun and Open Grid Standards

• Example DRMAA Distributed Resource Management
  Application API
• "The Glue" between Distributed Resource
  Management and Applications/Tools
• gt Makes resource management transparent
• Proposed new Working Group at Global Grid Forum
  in Frascati/Rome, October 2001
• Presented by Veridian, Intel, and Sun

16
Sun's Grid Strategy

• Strong Grid core team for developing and
  productizing core components (like SGE, Grid
  Broker,TCP)
• Sun Grid Computing Council Integrate Sun
  technologies and products and port the
  environment to all Sun platforms
• Sun's partners take care of other computing
  platforms
• Collaborate with the Grid community, IT partners
  and our customers to build all kinds of different
  Grids
• Sun currently is proposing, designing and
  building some 50 Grids with research labs,
  universities and industry
