PRAGMA Update

21 October 2005

Hyderabad

PRAGMA’s Founding Motivations – Updated 2005

• The grid is transforming e-science: computing, data *, and collaboration

• The problem remains that the grid is too hard to use on a routine basis

• Middleware software and people need to interoperate

• Science is an intrinsically global activity

Key Attributes of PRAGMA Successes (Intangible but Critical)

• Constructed conduit of technology, ideas, information, people– Multi-directional flow among institutions and

communities of software, approaches

• Developed framework for collaboration– Foundation for continued and greater work

• Built trust among members– Interoperability is essential among people– Sharing (resources, ideas, people) resulted

Results: many unplanned, tangible successes

PRAGMA 8

People• Lead for the Biological Sciences

Working Group– Karpjoo Jeong, Konkuk University

• More education, other jobs and skills– Cheyenne Chen, NLAR – Teri Simas, Import - Export– Jeehyun Suh, Edinburgh – Tomomi Takao, Mother – Grace Shau-Wei Hong, LSE

Highlighted Successes Unanticipated

• SARS: Grid Community Pulls together to Battle SARS

• GLEON: Launching a new community effort– Building on EcoGrid in Taiwan

• Expanding Reach of Projects– Optiputer; NEESit; iGEON; IVOA

• PRIME: Creating opportunities for undergraduate students– Reciprocal Projects from Jilin

• PRIUS: Osaka University, international internships and “PRAGMA Classes”

• KRocks: Localization of Rocks in Korea

• Exchange• Lectures

Highlighted Successes - Anticipated• Telescience: Sharing and Contributing Technology• Multi-way Dissemination and Integration of Software:

– Ninf-G into NMI (and Naregi CA)– iGAP/Gfarm, GAMESS/Nimrod– Rocks Rolls of SCE, Gfarm, Ninf-g

• Creation of Laboratory for Routine Use Experiments– Grew from 8 sites to 19 sites; Multiple, persistent experiments– Use and co-development of SCMSWeb and other software in

PRAGMA (e.g. CICESE porting SCMSWeb to solaris system) and use of MOGAS (Grid Acct System – from PRAGMA 8)

– Active dissemination of iNLANR AMP network– Joint paper (Resource Working Group rose to challenge) Issues

and Methods for Building a Multi-Application International Grid Resource

• Assisted in RPC standards at GGF, and launching of International Grid Trust Federation

Steering Committee Agenda• Review application for membership by College of

Computer Science and Technology, Jilin University• Review proposals to host future PRAGMA meetings

– Osaka University: Feedback to PRAGMA Nurturing• In conjunction with PRIUS

– NCSA: PRAGMA Engagements in Cyberenvironments • Possible collocation with ACM or IEE

– NCHC: Living Grids• Possibly with GGF, Lakes (GLEON)/Coral Reefs, Taiwan grid

– NECTEC and KU: Advancing Collaborations with ThaiGrid

• Discuss issue of members who no longer participate• Dissemination:

– Brochure - finalize– SC05 (reception hosted by PNWGP on Wed 16 Nov; demos)– Other meetings or venues for PRAGMA

• PRAGMA renewal to NSF– Themes, Key Activities, Rationale for future funding, Role in

global community

Renewal – The Next 5 Years

• Develop and deepen collaborations in the specific application areas – Building off of PRAGMA Working Groups– Adding Geosciences (GEON) and perhaps other applications

• Enhance and expand our routine use application grid laboratory and a grid operation center – Continue testing long-term runs, multiple applications (unique non-

discipline specific grass roots grid)– Extend GOC– Look at how to incorporate OptIPuter technology (optical networks)– Incorporate testing data proximity to compute platforms

• Create multi-way software dissemination pathways– Extend Rocks Rolls to other middleware– Extend NMI/Ninf-G experience to other middleware

• Strengthen the conduit for the exchange and the framework for collaboration – Workshops, Brochures, New members– Unexpected new successes (e.g. Other PRIUS)

• Finalize this by 10 December – Request your input and assistance
