One Minute on OSG
• The Open Science Grid is a national production-quality grid computing infrastructure for large scale science, built and operated by a consortium of U.S. universities and national laboratories.
– The OSG Consortium formed in 2004 to enable diverse communities of scientists to access a common grid infrastructure and shared resources.
• Groups that choose to join the Consortium contribute effort and resources to the common infrastructure.
– Aggressive program to federate many previously disjoint [mostly physics oriented] grid resources
– Resource providers and consumers from labs and universities join into a single scalable, engineered, and managed grid.
– Expanding the reach of grid capabilities is the corner-stone of ODG and for sustaining grid technologies and infrastructure.
• OSG is committed to use what was learned from working with the physics community to help new communities establish community based grids and adapt their applications and computing "culture”.
• Currently 25 Virtual Organizations as Users• Currently 23 Resource Providers• More information at http://www.opensciencegrid.osg

Critical Topics to a Sustainable Grid Infrastructure.
• The architecting, construction and implementation of a globally scalable, real-time infrastructure.
– Way beyond simple middleware, and – Requires an SOA and profound network as well as end-system awareness, end-
to-end monitoring, command and control. – The next round of really-large science projects Will implement such a systems.
Otherwise the science goals will not be met. • A well defined and scalable management structure
– Both technical management and people management • A structure with solid fundamental supports (user support, helpdesk,
office hours) for a core component • A framework where development & ideas can be achieved and new
resources could "join" [homogeneous or not ]– Has significant design impact on what is "core“ resources and services
• A common agreement (user, usage, VO) leading to a common security strategy:
– opened and shared resources – an advertised agreement (market place)
• An authentication structure that is secure, easy for sites (VOs) to administer, and easy for users to use and conforms to government policy
