Your Grid Software? It is a full-functional replica of EGEE production grid infrastructure created for testing and validation of software components that are integrated by Central European region. Resources are distributed among Poland (CYFRONET), Czech Republic (CESNET) and Austria (GUP-JKU). Central European Certification Testbed infrastructure is open for everyone who is willing to migrate their software to EGEE middleware. We are eager to take your products and help with integration onto production level grid. If you are interested please visit Certification Testbed web page to find out how to proceed. Grid Middleware BUILDING PACKAGING adapt to pack into portable EGEE middleware format e. g. rpm and compile PACKAGING pack into portable format e. g. rpm Objectives Products Integrated The current EGEE middleware consists of tools and services that are essential to set up grid infrastructure. Communities from Central European region require to extend grid middleware to enrich grid functionality by installing new components. The objective behind Central European Certification Testbed infrastructure was to provide developers, especially from other grid projects with an easy way to integrate new software to EGEE middleware and test their solutions in production-like environment and incorporate into production grid later on. So far we integrated the following grid software to EGEE middleware: • OCM-G – performance monitoring system for applications (supports MPICH applications) • G-PM – performance visualization tool • GLOGIN - interactive login to grid machines based on X. 509 certificates. • MPI – we enabled support for parallel applications DEPLOYMENT PACKAGING INTEGRATION packcomply into portable to format e. g. rpm EGEE deploy & config scheme Bratislava-IISAS Certification Testbed provides environment to adapt the software to EGEE middleware, package it in order to easily relocate onto other grid machines, then integrate with EGEE policies of deployment and configuration tools in order to facilitate deployment in grid. EGEE provides production level, stable grid infrastructure, thus we test the overall infrastructure stability (including new services) against EGEE policies. If successful, regionally customized middleware release is deployed within the region triggered Production Grid along with each EGEE release cycle. STABILITY PACKAGING VALIDATION check pack intosoftware portable functionality & format e. g. rpm infrastr. stability Prague-CESNET Vienna-HEPHY Coordinated PACKAGING software pack releases into portable format rpm in CE e. g. region Budapest – KFKI RMKI Poznan - PSNC Linz – GUP-JKU Production-level grid in Central Europe spans across 14 computing centers providing over 1000 CPUs. The resources are used by scientists from a spectrum of scientific disciplines. Our regional virtual organization (VOCE) allows access for people willing to get familiar with grid or test their own applications. It also provides additional software packages for MPI users and portal access to the grid resources.
