[DRMAA-WG] Tutorial on GridWay and Porting of Applications Using the DRMAAStandard

[Ignacio Martin Llorente]

Dear all,

For your information, we are organizing a tutorial about "Grid Computing
with GridWay on Globus Infrastructures: Porting Applications Using the DRMAA
Standard" at PPAM 2007 (Gdansk, POLAND, September 9-12, 2007). 

DESCRIPTION:

The aim of the tutorial is to provide a global overview of the process of
installing, configuring and using GridWay. The course mainly focuses on the
development of codes using the C and JAVA bindings of the DRMAA OGF
standard. The development of codes using DRMAA assures compatibility of
applications with other management systems that implements the standard,
such as SGE, Condor, Torque. The course includes hands-on exercises.

TENTATIVE CONTENTS:

1. An Overview of the GridWay Metascheduler (0.5 hours)
2. Installation and Basic Configuration (0.5 hours)
3. Submission, Monitoring and Control of Jobs (1 hour)
4. Programming with the DRMAA OGF standard (2 hours)

SKILLS GAINED

- Describe the features and benefits of the GridWay Metascheduler
- Describe the scheduling infrastructures that can be deployed with GridWay
- Install and basic configure GridWay
- Submit, monitor, and control jobs
- Use the accounting and reporting tools
- Develop codes using DRMAA

PREREQUISITES

User level knowledge and skills in Unix or Linux systems and C or JAVA
programming. The course includes hands-on exercises to be performed on
attendee's laptops.

PEOPLE WHO COULD BE INTERESTED IN THE TUTORIAL

- Grid users and developers: GridWay provides a friendly CLI and a standard
API to submit, control and monitor high throughput computing applications
and abstract workflows, which may require file transferring and/or database
access

- Grid administrators: GridWay op top of Globus provides support for the
existing platforms and resource managers, allowing allocation of grid
resources according to management specified policies, analysis of trends in
resource usage and monitoring of user behavior

- Grid managers: GridWay on top of Globus allows the integration of
non-interoperable computational platforms, establishing a uniform and
flexible infrastructure and achieving a greater utilization of resources and
higher application throughput
