• The P-GRADE Portal hides differences of Grids• Globus 2 and 4 – LCG2 – gLite Grid interoperability• Transparent switching between Grid technologies

• Graphical tools for application development, execution and monitoring

• Sequential & parallel components can be integrated into large Grid applications

• Direct or broker-based resource allocation• Your code does not have to contain grid specific calls

Collaborative workflow Collaborative workflow developmentdevelopment

– The portal has to guarantee that the result is a consistent workflow

– Protect against data loss locking mechanisms– As real-time as possible! to increase parallelism

during development

ConclusionsConclusions

• Extend the single-user version of the P-GRADE Portal:– Concurrent engineering of workflow-based

grid applications– Application execution by multiple users in a

concurrent fashion– Prototype version already available

ConclusionsConclusions

• xxMC portals: execute a workflow simultaneously in many Grids

• P-GRADE portals 2.1 - 2.3 already work as xxMC portal providing service for several production Grids:

– HunGrid– SEE-Grid– VOCE– UK NGS

www.lpds.sztaki.hu/pgportal

• MCxx portal: Enables to collaborate through workflow applications!

• Collaborative P-GRADE Portal: Prototype was demonstrated at SC05 exhibition
