9:00 Parallel Jobs with MPI - Enol Fernandez
Parallel Jobs with MPI
- Enol Fernandez
9:00 - 10:00
Room: Nave Exp. Sala de Audiovisuales Execution of MPI applications is common in several scientific disciplines. Although Grid resources are composed of clusters capable of running such applications, the middleware stacks have basic level of support that is too coarse and unwieldy for the users needs. MPI-Start offers a unique and stable interface to execute parallel applications abstracting the users from the complexity of the heterogeneous systems that compose a Grid infrastructure. This presentation introduces the basic concepts of parallel programming and the MPI standard. These concepts are applied to a Grid environment with the help of MPI-Start. A detailed description of MPI-Start and how to use it is given.

Cloud Computing & Grid
- Eduardo Huedo (UCM)
12:20 - 13:20
Room: Nave Exp. Sala de Audiovisuales Grid and Cloud Computing models pursue the same objective of constructing large-scale distributed infrastructures, although focusing on complementary aspects. While grid focuses on federating resources and fostering collaboration, cloud focuses on flexibility and on-demand provisioning of virtualized resources. Due to their complementarity, it is clear that both models, or at least some of their concepts and techniques, will coexist and cooperate in existing and future e-infrastructures. This talk is about how Cloud Computing will help both to overcome many of the barriers to grid adoption and to enhance the management, functionality, suitability, energy efficiency, and utilization of production grid infrastructures.

Room: Nave Exp. Sala de Audiovisuales The development of communication networks has produced a breakthrough in most areas of life. In science, the increase of bandwidth and coverage of research networks have developed a new way of doing science. E-Science, as enhanced science, is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it. E-Science is the way to deal with the interdisciplinary approach for tackling the Data Deluge that new biomedical disciplines are posing. Biomedicine, as the storage, management and processing of data related with the physiology and structure of living beings, comprise many different disciplines, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Epidemiology and Simulation. Those technologies are posing many challenges regarding computing, data storage and collaborative work. Many of these challenges are analyzed in the SHARE Roadmap published by the HealthGrid Association. Medical Imaging is becoming one of the largest consumer of global storage. This huge need in storage is also leading to a large need on computing resources. This large availability of data constitutes a great opportunity for creating knowledge repositories to drive research and training. In this sense, the middleware TRENCADIS, developed by the UPV, enables creating virtual repositories of medical imaging, organized by content through the use of DICOM Structured Reports, from data coming from different centres. TRENCADIS uses a model based on virtual communities to organize authorization models. This federated model is also being developed by major industrial providers. In bioinformatics, genomics and metagenomics are requesting a large amount of computing resources. Many bioinformatics tools, such as alignment tools, can be executed in parallel, exploiting the potential of current e-Infrastructures. In the experience of the GRyCAP in several experiments, it is crucial to minimize job error failure rates. Error failure rates are reduced by achieving a good replication of data sources and by selecting the rightmost partition strategy. By planning carefully the data splitting, it is possible to define execution models that predict the response time and guide the experiments in deciding how to deal with slow jobs. By using those approaches on large infrastructures, the GRyCAP has achieved performance rates of 18000 sequences of 363 nucleotids in average, using BLAST. But this will not be sufficient when new sequencing techniques will be generalized, achieving ratios of more than 20 thousand millions of sequences per week, per machine. In conclusion, many tools for bioinformatics and medical imaging require an enormous processing time. Data storage and management is becoming a problem that cannot be faced by the individual scientists, requiring the consolidation of multidisciplinary collaborative teams that could exploit current e-Science e-Infrastructures.

Room: Nave Exp. Sala de Audiovisuales El Large Hadron Collider ya ha empezado y actualmente se están obteniendo información de los constituyentes de la materia que implican un gran almacenamiento de datos (entorno al Petabyte), y su acceso y análisis por parte de miles de científicos de todo el planeta. La forma empleada para solventar estos desafíos es el GRID y en esta charla se proporciona una descripción de cómo se utiliza para el caso del experimento ATLAS por los usuarios del IFIC (Valencia): el acceso a los datos que proporciona Distributed Data Management y la herramienta GANGA para realizar Análisis Distribuido de manera sencilla. De todo ello se hace una demostración.

Room: Nave Exp. Sala de Audiovisuales El LHC ha generando grandes cantidades de información sobre los constituyentes fundamentales de la materia desde su puesta en marcha a finales de 2009. La gestión del entorno al Petabyte de datos generados presenta varios desafíos que van desde el almacenamiento hasta la forma de acceso o el análisis de dichos datos por una comunidad científica distribuida por todo el mundo. La solución elegida para solventar estos desafíos son las tecnologías GRID. En esta charla se introduce el software utilizado por el experimento ATLAS para analizar los datos, Athena. El alumno adquirirá los conocimientos básicos necesarios para analizar datos usando Athena de forma local, paso previo necesario si se quiere realizar análisis distribuidos con el GRID.
