Workshop on High Performance Applications of Cloud and Grid Tools
April 14, 2011
Argonne National Laboratory, Building 240 Conference Center, near Chicago, Illinois, USA
http://www.ogf.org/HPACG/
(Immediately following Globus World 2011 April 11-12 and CCA'11 April 13 in the same location)
Updated with registration and travel assistance details: see information below.
Objective
The objective of this workshop is to improve on the state of use of software tools designed for access, administration, job management, input/output standardization, performance optimization of job submission and execution, and other aspects of management of high performance computing resources by multiple users through incorporation of the latest advances in cloud and grid development tools. The workshop will be focused specifically on tools in use or that could be used to produce and maintain production infrastructures for large-scale projects in scientific computing.
Goals
1. Gather authors, maintainers, users and interested parties for production cloud and grid infrastructure tools. Survey the existing state of these tools with regard to use and implementation of existing cloud and grid standards.
2. Update participants on current US government and international efforts to promote cloud computing usage and associated efforts on related standards development, promotion and adoption.
3. Focus the talents of the community on options for cloud-to-grid and grid-to-cloud interoperability, high performance applications of existing tools and applicability of OGF and other emerging standards, and gather input from attendees regarding the current state of their projects with respect to these topics. Using the resulting input, explore options for future development that can be achieved on a short-term basis.
4. Serve as a planning forum for a larger-scale workshop and forum aimed at evaluating, encouraging and promoting communication on this topic broadly across US-funded science agency computing projects and among their related international partners.
Workshop Organizers
The co-organizers for this workshop are OGF and Argonne National Laboratory.
