What specific problem is the Globus Toolkitdesigned to address?


Ultimately, the Globus Toolkit is designed to enable the

Virtual Organizations

• Distributed resources and people• Linked by networks, crossing admin domains• Sharing resources, common goals• Dynamic• Fault tolerant


Layers in the Grid


The Globus Toolkit:“Standard Plumbing” for the Grid

• Not turnkey solutions, but building blocks & tools for application developers & system integrators– Some components (e.g., file transfer) go farther than others

(e.g., remote job submission) toward end-user relevance

• Easier to reuse than to reinvent– Compatibility with other Grid systems comes for free

• Today the majority of the GT public interfaces are usable by application developers and system integrators– Relatively few end-user interfaces– In general, not intended for direct use by end users

(scientists, engineers, marketing specialists)

Grid Community 4


The Globus Toolkit is a Collection of Components

• A set of loosely-coupled components, with:– Services and clients– Libraries– Development tools

• GT components are used to build Grid-based applications and services– GT can be viewed as a Grid SDK

• GT components can be categorized across two different dimensions– By broad domain area– By protocol support

Summary

• The Globus Toolkit is a collection of reuseable components to help application builders harness the Grid

• In OMII-Europe, the challenge is to allow components from different middleware stacks to interact and interoperate well

• For Globus, the main areas are:– Job Submission– Data Services– Accounting and Security
