Proposed structure

General Section

The grid part of the bootcamp is estimated at 45 minutes broken in roughly 3 sections.

  • Describing UABgrid
    • Why use grid technology and/or why is it's needed
    • An overview of the UABgrid Architecture: a basic description of the grid head node, storage node, and compute nodes.
  • Using UABgrid
    • Authentication
      • Get you UABgrid Credentials
      • SSH to head node
  • Basic Commands
    • gwhost, gwps, gwkill, gwhistory, grid-proxy-init, grid-proxy-info, gwlog (ghost, gps, gkill, ghistory, ginit, ginfo, glog?)
  • Example jobs
    • Basic job submit
    • Job Arrays
    • Job Batches
  • Highlight Advanced Tools and Future Plans

Advanced Section

This section is on the morning and early afternoon of the 2nd Day of the Fall 2007 HPC BootCamp

The section should focus on system admins and early adopters.

Proposed Schedule

Time Topic
9:00 - 9:20 Coffee, refreshments, mingle
9:20 - 9:30 Welcome & Opening Remarks
9:30 - 10:00 UABgrid Architecture: Infrastructure and Resources

grid interfaces, compute resources, 10GigE research network, collaboration tools

10:00 - 11:00 Adding resources to UABgrid

How to set up Globus, certificates, firewall, job env, account provisioning (account & grid mapfile)

11:00 - 12:00 Running Jobs on UABgrid

Using the meta-scheduler, staging data, incorporating local resources (similar to Day 1 user overview)

12:00 - 1:00 Lunch
1:00 - 1:45 Collaboration Infrastructure

Virtual Organizations and Tools (groups mgmt, wikis, blogs, content mgmt, project tracking, file sharing)

1:45 - 2:00 Roadmap and Goals
2:00 - 2:30 Wrap-up

Misc Notes

We can describe:

  • How resources can be added to UABgrid (or SURAgrid)
  • Details on grid management
  • Work that still needs doing.
  • How the @lab VO's goal is to help manage the grid and invitations to join.
  • More details about the collaboration features available via UABgrid.

Basically, this is where we can go over the things that are working but still need some exploration.

Documentation

Concerns & Open Issues

How do you get onto stage ssh. OK but then how do you get you cert initialized on stage? myproxy-get-deligation will let you get a proxy based on blazerid / pw. We don't need to worry about client side download of certs.

Requirements

  • UABgrid IdM
  • UABgrid GridShib CA
  • UABgrid stage running GridWay
  • UABgrid file grid
  • Cheaha running globus and sge connector
