Sponsor Highlight Talks

Wolfgang Nagel (ZIH, TU Dresden):
 
Date-Intensive Computing at TU Dresden: New Requirements and Challenges from the Application Field.

John Barr (Intel):
 
Intel technologies for Grid computing.

This talk presents current and future technologies developed by Intel, and focuses on ways in which they are particularly relevant for Grid computing.
Simon See (Sun):
 
Sun technologies for Grid computing.

Bernhard Schott (Platform):
 
Proceedings on HPC workload management utilizing a unified resource layer Grid.

Recent advances in resource unification delivers the basis for innovative SLA guarantees as alternatives to classical priorization, opening interesting usage models for variable resource allocations. Combined with simplified methods for MPI integration into workflow control, significant improvements in flexibility AND service quality AND control is achieved in the HPC-Datacenter. Use case examples including heterogeneous multi-site collaboration will be provided.


Tutorial: gLite/EGEE in Practice

The tutorial will take place in the afternoon of Saturday, July 7, and is free of charge. However, due to the limited number of participants, we ask for registration.

Abstract

gLite (Lightweight Middleware for Grid Computing) aims at providing a consistent, secure, robust and production quality Grid infrastructure. gLite is developed within EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science), the flagship Grid project funded by the EU, and currently deployed on the biggest Grid worldwide connecting more than 20'000 CPUs. The tutorial will give an overview of Grid technology concepts and the most important gLite components including job submission, data management, monitoring and security (grid proxy, VOMS). The attendees will be able run sample applications on the Grid helped by tutors. A demo of a real world medical application executed on the Grid will also be shown.

Slides

Part 1: Alex Villazon (PPT | PDF)
Part 2: Markus Baumgartner (PPT | PDF)

Demonstration: Karoly Bosa

An interactive demonstration of the Grid-Enabled SEE++ software making use of gLite is contained in the CD-ROM which is distributed with the conference package.
