Distributed Computing with Everest

• Oleg Sukhoroslov (IITP RAS)

Room: 407 Tutors: Oleg Sukhoroslov, Sergey Volkov (IITP RAS) The ability to effortlessly reuse and combine existing computational tools and computing resources is an important factor influencing research productivity. Everest is a new distributed computing platform that addresses this problem by supporting publication, execution and composition of applications running across distributed computing resources. In contrast to traditional software, Everest follows the Platform as a Service cloud delivery model by providing all its functionality via remote web and programming interfaces. An application ported to Everest can be accessed via web user interface or unified REST API. The latter enables integration with external systems and composition of applications. Another distinct feature of Everest is the ability to run applications on arbitrary sets of external computing resources. A computing resource can be attached to the platform by any user. An application developer can bind one or multiple resources to an application. It is also possible to manually specify resources for a single application run. The tutorial will provide first-hand practical information about Everest, including: 1. General introduction 2. Adding (porting) applications to Everest 3. Running applications via web user interface 4. Attaching computing resources to Everest 5. Binding resources to applications 6. Using Python API to run and combine applications from Python programs 7. Running parameter sweep applications with Everest

Computing with Desktop Grids and Combined DCIs (COMPUTING WITH DESKTOP GRIDS AND COMBINED DCIs)

• Mikhail Posypkin (ITTP RAS)

Room: 407 Tutors: MAROSI, Attila Csaba (Institute for Computer Science and Control, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI)) ZAIKIN, Oleg (ISDCT SB RAS) Part I. SZTAKI tools for desktop grids and combined distributed infrastructures (~ 1 hour) 1. Applications and Job Submission mechanisms for EDGeS@home 2. Use cases for SZTAKI DG tools: BioVeL (Biodiversity in Virtual e-Laboratory) and KOPI (Translated Plagiarism Search with help of Desktop Grids) 3. One-Click DG Infrastructure Deployment (Demo) 4. Presentation of the Desktop Grid Federation Technical Wiki for tools and use cases 5. Summary of the results of the first year of the IDGF-SP Desktop Grid project Part II. CluBORun tool (Cluster for BOINC Run) (~ 1 hour) 1. Description of CluBORun, a tool aimed at utilizing idle resources of computing clusters in volunteer computing projects based on BOINC will be presented. The key feature of CluBORun is that it utilizes only idle resources of computing clusters (just as BOINC-manager does it for computers) and uses only ordinary cluster’s user rights. 2. Demo of configuring and running CluBORun on a computing cluster. Part III. Discussion (~ 30 minutes)
