What We Want
Really Cool !!
Room for a Friend
Bright Headlight to See Far
Lots of Power !!
3
What Weve Got
Quickly a pain in the Rear
Cant see very far ahead
Requires effort to start
Not Quite Ready to Go

How Do We Get to Where Were Going?

• 2005 Plan
• 0.4 Release Target November
• Operational Experience of 0.2
• FY06 Plan
• PreProposals and Proposals
• Deployment Roadmap
• Futures
• Consortium Meetings
• Opportunities

6
Making of Release 0.4

• Deployment Activity
• Worked well as forum to consolidate requirements
  and make necessary compromises.
• Razvan Popescu leading next round
• Integration Activity
• Essential facility (ITB) and process (Service
  Readiness)

7
Making of Release 0.4

• Provisioning
• Integrated tightly with Integration and
  Operations
• Still needed as a separate phase ?
• Interoperability
• How should this connect with Integration ?

8
Release 0.4

• Focus Areas
• Storage
• CE/SE Data Integration
• Access Methods
• Workload Management
• Service Catalogs
• Job Placement
• Accounting

9
Release 0.4 (contd)

• Edge Services Framework
• Generalize concept of Gatekeepers to VO services
• WS GRAM
• Make baseline something already deployed
• Operational Efficiencies
• Grid function
• OSG growth

10
CE/SE Data Integration

• (See Storage talk earlier session)
• Access Model
• Should local access to storage hide distribution
  ? (How? Performance)
• Should only Grid interfaces be used ?
• Should we have hybrid ?
• Should we have a Blueprint meeting ?
• Where/when/who ?

11
Storage Access

• Data Catalogs ?
• GridFTP (GT4)
• SRM
• V1.1 services likely by November
• V2.2.1 services possible by November ?
• V3 services unlikely by November
• Will this technology meet needs ?
• SRB
• others

12
Catalogs

• (See MIS talk in earlier session)
• Factorization
• Dynamic Registration
• Standard and Extensible Info
• Blueprint meeting in Buffalo Aug 28-29

13
Job Placement

• Architecture
• Responsibility Demarcs
• Is OSG-wide opportunistic system needed ?
• (Who is leading this work?)

14
Accounting

• (See Accounting talk in earlier session)
• Accuracy
• Work Unit Definition
• Completeness ?
• OSG-Accounting Activity formed

15
Economics

• Is Credit sufficient ?
• Can/should resource contention resolution be
  local to resource ?
• Do we need to address this in 0.4 ?

16
Edge Services Framework

• (See talk in earlier session)
• Real or virtual machines ?
• Hosting service ?
• Activity starting up in Sept.

17
WS GRAM

• Likely will be deployed as supplemental service
  soon.
• What else is needed to incorporate this in a CE
  baseline ?
• May imply larger technology shift

18
Operational Efficiencies

• Managing Catalogs too manual
• Problem resolution paths too complex
• Diagnostics too crude
• Error Recovery too limited

19
Future

• Target another Release for Summer 06?
• Should/can we start this in parallel ?
• What are likely drivers ?
• Resynch with Partners
• SOA developments
• Available effort level
