4 TeraGrid Information Systems

5 TeraGrid (National Science Foundation) TeraGrid DEEP: Integrates NSF s 60 largest computers (+ than 60 TF): more than 2 PB of online storage. National data visualization infrastructure. Most powerful world computing network. TeraGrid WIDE Science Portals: Integration of scientific communities. More than 90 community data collections. Cooperation with other grid projects in Europe and Asia/Pacífic.

6 The Challenge Provide a mechanism that allows all participants to publish and discover information about available capabilities: What are TeraGrid s computing resources? Which features are provided by each resource? Where are the login services? Where can I access a particular data collection? Who has a weather forecast service? Provide a mechanism adapted to the TeraGrid open community: Editors record information (instead of submitting to a centralized database). A central index allows for aggregation and discovery. Multiple access interfaces (WS/SOAP, WS/ReST, browser).

7 Technical Issues Information is stored in legacy systems: Databases (different types, restricted access). Static and dynamic web interfaces. Multiple and varied database schemas: It s very complex to design an integrate database which supports all data types and relations. Many types of clients (browsers, SOAP, ReST). Service availability is critical: Both TeraGrid management (testing, documentation and planning) and its users and partners depend on this service. Therefore it has a 99.5% availability goal.

8 TeraGrid Central Services TeraGrid Information Service Architecture Apache 2.0 WS/REST HTTP GET Clients Cache Tomcat WebMDS WS/SOAP Clients WS MDS4 Resources WS MDS4 WS/SOAP Clients

9 Registry Editors record available content: The local service maintains a registry at the central registry. Entries expire automatically so are refreshed periodically. Editors maintain ownership of their information systems (they can even participate in other grids). Indexing services pull content: Registry entries have access control. Registry entries have a link to the source. Cache supports service faults, etc

11 TGUP Batch Load & Queue Data IIS provides queue & batch load information from all RP sites for TGUP to use in system monitor <LoadRP xmlns=""> <ComputeResourceLoad xmlns=""> <ResourceID>pople.psc.teragrid.org</ResourceID> <SiteID>psc.teragrid.org</SiteID> <LoadInfo hostname="tg-login1.pople.psc.teragrid.org" timestamp=" t13:46:19z"> <Load> <Type>queue</Type> <Value>98</Value> </Load>

12 TeraGrid Results Does not require deep modification or loss of ownership of legacy systems. Simple and consistent access mechanism. Integrates: Description of computing services and queue state. Registry of service and software availability. Centralized documentation. Test, validation and verification service: INCA, testing and execution portal.

14 LIGO

15 LIGO: Laser Interferometry Gravitational Wave Observatory Goal: observe gravitational waves. Three physical detectors in two locations (plus the GEO detector in Germany). More than 10 centres for data analysis. Collaborators in more than 40 institutions.

16 LIGO: Laser Interferometry Gravitational Wave Observatory LIGO records thousands of data channels generating 1TB/day of data during test periods: The result data are published and data centres subscribe to the parts that local users want for analysis or storage. The data analysis results in more derived data: About 30% of LIGOs total data. They are also published and replicated. More than 35 million files on the grid: More than 6 million unique files More than 30 million files (copies of the originals)

17 The Challenge Replicate more than 1 TB/day of data to more than 10 locations. Solution: A publish/subscribe model. Let scientist specify and discover data using applicational criteria (metadata). Let scientists locate copies of the data.

18 Technical Constraints Efficiency Avoid bandwidth sub-use during transfer specially on broadband (10 Gbps) links. Avoid downtime between data transfers.

19 Lightweight Data Replicator Joins three basic Globus services: 1. Metadata service (MDS): What files are available? Information about files such as size, md5, date, Metadata propagation. 2. Globus Replica Location Service (RLS): Where are the files? Catalog service translates filenames into URLs. Maps files to locations. 3. GridFTP Service: How can we copy files? Server+adapted client. Used to replicate data between locations.

20 LIGO Data Replicator Architecture Each participant has a machine dedicated to transferring files requested by local clients. The scheduler requests metadata and catalogs replicas to identify missing files which are added to a priority list. The transfer daemon checks the list, transfer files and updates the LRC. If a transfer fails it remains on the transfer list.

21 LIGO Results Complete LIGO/GEO experiment: Replicated 30 TB in 30 days. (~700 MB/minute) MTBF: 1 month. More than 35 million files on the LDR network. Performance limited by chosen programming language (Python). Partnership with Globus Alliance to include a version of the LDR in Globus Toolkit.

22 Data Replication Service Data Replication Service (DRS) Reimplementation of LDR publish/subscribe capabilities. Uses Java based WS-RF services. Uses the RLS e RFT services from GT4. Included in GT4.

24 GEO600

25 GEO600 Observatory Goal: observe gravitational waves. 600m laser interferometer close to Hannover. Members of LIGO as well.

26 The Challenge Sweep the packets of data produced by GEO600 looking for gravitational waves: Very complex signal processing. Very large amounts of data to process. D-GRID (state owned German Grid) and Open Science Grid available.

27 Two Pronged Approach Shared with the LIGO community. Runs on voluntary PCs. Uses the BOINC network. Runs since mid >70,000 computers/week ~19000 units/day AstroGrid-D Same application as Using D-Grid and OSG. Runs since Oct/2007. Distributes tasks using GRAM. Averages 4000 units/day.

28 Traditional Approach to Resource Management Accessing multiple sites: Accounts, permissions, etc... Use a metascheduler to decide on resource selection: GridWay Metascheduler uses GRAM to contact different job submission sites.

29 GEO600 Approach Submission node has a list of all the GEO 600 resources with min. and max. job capacities for each. Hourly the list are reviewed and jobs are dispatched. Every time a node has less than min. Jobs, more jobs are transferred upto max. jobs and the corresponding input files are transferred asynchronously. The status of each job is maintained in the submission machine. Job output files are sent back to the submission system asynchronously. GEO600 processes 4000 jobs/day this way.
