Ce séminaire de l'IDRIS a eu lieu jeudi 16 décembre 2010
de 10h30 à 12h dans les locaux de l'IDRIS :
Grid Computing with Globus
Helmut Heller
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ)
Grid computing hides the
idiosyncrasies of computing sites behind a veil of middleware and thus
makes resource utilization easier and more uniform for the users.
Globus (www.globus.org)
is one of the most-used Grid middlewares worldwide.
In this talk we will give a historical perspective on the development
of the Globus middleware, how it relates to other middlewares, like
UNICORE, gLite, and ARC, its current status and planned future
developments, where it is being used, and how it is supported in Europe
(i.e., by IGE — The Initiative for Globus in Europe
— www.ige-project.eu).
We will also give a short introduction to the basic components of the
Globus toolkit and show how they can be used for interactive work, data
transfer and computing.
After a PhD
in theoretical biophysics, where he simulated the largest biophysical
systems of that time on a self-built 60 node parallel computer, Dr.
Helmut Heller joined Leibniz
Supercomputing Centre’s scientific staff in the
area of high performance computing in 1997. Since 2001 Dr. Heller
focusses on Grid computing with Globus and works in many national and
international Grid projects, like D-Grid, DEISA, PRACE, EGI, LCG. In
April 2007 the new Distributed
Resources Group was established at LRZ, with Dr. Heller as
its leader. Since 2010 he is also the director of the EU FP7 project Initiative for Globus in Europe.
