CCGrid 2014 Airavata Tutorial - Under Construction

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, 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: 

The tutorial is 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...)
• How to extend the framework to integrate with other Grid and Cloud infrastructures
