Interoperability

• EU-INDIAGRID Project Objective Number 1)– To support the interconnection and

interoperability of the prominent European Grid infrastructure (EGEE) with the Indian Grid infrastructure for the benefit of eScience applications

• Not just a middleware problem

Two Main Grid Infrastructures• GARUDA National Grid Initiative– Based on GT4

• Regional WLCG

GARUDA - Overview• Motivation

– To Collaborate on Research and Engineering of Technologies, Architectures, Standards and Applications in Grid Computing

– To Contribute to the aggregation of resources in the Grid

• Participation– 36 research & academic

institutions in the 17 cities– 8 centres of C-DAC– Total of 45 institutions

• Connected through the NKN

Network activitiesTEIN3 POP, Mumbai @ ERNET, GARUDA on ERNET IPsTEIN3 POP moved to NKN

issue with performance connectivityEUIG2 had a prime role on solving the problem

GARUDA moved to NKN-> issue on IP addresses

Garuda Middleware• Based on Globus 4.x• Customized Gridway Meta-scheduler• MDS4, Ganglia, Nagios for Information

management• Grid FTP + SRM for Data management• GSI based security• VOMS for VO support

EUIndiaGrid2 Interoperability

• Work progressed on both sides

• CDAC and ICTP/INFN contributions

• Job Interoperability – Based on Gridway• Supports Middleware Access Drivers (MADs)

• Pluggable drivers for various Grid middleware

• Single instance can support multiple Grid M/W
