High-Performance Computing, Presentations/Speeches, and Grid Computing
PKI and Grids
| Title: | PKI and Grids (ID: PKI08003) | | Author(s): | James A. Jokl (University of Virginia) and Scott A. Rea (Dartmouth College) | | Origin: | Presented at PKI Meetings (04/16/2008) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Do you already have a grid-computing deployment on campus? Or do you have researchers who need to access grid-computing resources from high-performance computing centers around the globe? In this session, you will find out how to configure your CA to issue International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF)-compliant certificates and join over a hundred CAs currently certified under approved IGTF profiles. Hear real-life experiences from SURAgrid, see bridge PKIs in action, and learn how to leverage your campus PKI infrastructure to facilitate access to worldwide grid-computing efforts. | | View this resource: | |
CyberInfrastructure: What, Why, How, and Who's Already Doing It
| Title: | CyberInfrastructure: What, Why, How, and Who's Already Doing It (ID: EDU07166) | | Author(s): | Russ Hobby (Internet2), Diane A. Baxter (University of California, San Diego), James Kent Blackburn (California Institute of Technology), Ann West (Michigan Technological University), and Mark A. Luker (EDUCAUSE) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Modern cyberinfrastructure (CI) creates a “distributed computer” with resources dispersed in diverse geographic and administrative domains and the network providing the “backplane” for this computer. This session will present major players in research and education CI and will offer an overview of the CI Days program under way to assist campuses in planning and implementing CI. The CI Days program is being developed in coordination with EDUCAUSE, Internet2, National LambdaRail (NLR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE). The NSF’s TeraGrid and the DOE’s Open Science Grid build on advanced networking to provide leading-edge collaborative computing infrastructure, Internet2 and NLR provide the enhanced network backplane infrastructure, and the NSF’s International Research Network Connections program offers international extensions. Internet2 also develops middleware tools to enable end users to reliably access CI resources, and EDUCAUSE addresses policy and funding issues involved with implementing and operating CI. | | View this resource: | |
International Scaling: Realizing the Potential of Grid and High-End Computing
| Title: | International Scaling: Realizing the Potential of Grid and High-End Computing (ID: NMD07002) | | Author(s): | Daniel Reed (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) | | Origin: | Contributed by or Presented at Net@EDU (State Networks) (02/05/2007) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Large-scale grids containing thousands of sites are being considered, developed, and deployed. Similarly, node counts for terascale systems have grown to tens of thousands, with petascale system likely to contain hundreds of thousands of nodes. In addition, a tsunami of new experimental and computational data poses equally vexing problems in analysis, transport, visualization, and collaboration. We must rethink traditional assumptions about software scaling, component integration, and hardware reliability. Our thesis is that the "two worlds" of software-grids and parallel systems-must meet, embodying ideas from each, if we are to build a usable and useful infrastructure. This talk describes approaches to scalable performance measurement, dynamic adaptation, and grid integration and their implications for large-scale science and engineering. | | View this resource: | |
