Tutorial at the 14th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing  - CCGrid2014

Tutorial Title: Developing Computational Science Gateways using Apache Airavata

Date: Thursday May 29th 2014

Venue:  Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel (Magnificent Mile), Chicago, IL, USA

Software Requirements: Java, SSH Shell, Web Browser

Prerequisite Knowledge: General understanding of Cluster and Grid computing, Batch Job Submission, Science Portals/Gateways. Knowledge of Java & Web services is preferable but not required.

Description:

Target Audience and take home lessons:
The tutorial is targeted for Gateway developers who want to build a new gateway from scratch; for advanced developers who are investigating to improve a particular capability; and Campus Champions who can learn easier mechanisms to move data and execute jobs on computational resources.

Take home:

• What science gateways are;
• What projects are good candidates for science gateways;
• How science gateways are built;
• What software packages are available for building science gateways;
• What services and infrastructure resources available to support gateways;
• How to get extended gateway support resources through XSEDE’s ECSS;
• How to integrate with XSEDE (authentication, usage, submission, …);
• Demonstration of how it is being used for Cloud Integration using EC2 and Apache Whirr integration.
• How to extend the framework to integrate with other Grid and Cloud infrastructures.
