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:

suited for intermediate audience. The audience will benefit from a background of executing scientific applications on HPC, HTC or Cloud environments. Developers with programing experience will also benefit from extending the Apache Airavata framework. 

Since gateways touch all aspects democratizing computational resources, the tutorial is intended for a broad range of attendees, including distributed systems developers, gateway users, science application developers, and technical audience. 

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, …etc...);
• 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.
