PRAGMA Institute, 9/26/2007
One of the major lessons from PRAGMA Grid, that everybody has
noticed and would agree– “You have to Grid People before
you can Grid machines”

PRAGMA is a great model and needs to be emulated. Has helped weaken barriers between different research
groups across different continents and allowed people to trust and collaborate
rather than compete.

Lessons Learned From Grid Interoperation
• Grid interoperation make large scale calculations possible• Differences among grids provide learning, collaboration and
integration opportunities– IGTF, VOMS (GIN)– Common Software Area (TeraGrid)– Ninf-G (AIST/PRAGMA) interface to NorduGrid– Nimrod-G (MU/PRAGMA) interface to Unicore (PRIME)– VDT (OSG) and Rocks (SDSC/PRAGMA) integration
• Differences in grid environment are source of difficulties for users and applications– Different user access setup procedure - take extra effort– Different job submission protocols
• GRAM, Sandbox, gridftp, modified GRAM, …• One-to-one interface building is not scalable, nor desirable. Need standard.
• Middleware fault tolerance and flexible resource management is important

• Management, resources and software coordination• Identity and fault management• Scalability and performance• Feedback between application and middleware help improve software and
promote software integration• Heterogeneous global grid
– Is realistic and challenge– Can be good for middleware development and testing– Can be useful for real science

A Grass Roots Effort
“One of the most important lessons of the Internet is that it grows most successfully where grass roots initiatives are encouraged and enabled. The Internet has historically grown from the bottom up, and this aspect continues to fuel its continued growth in the academic and commercial sectors.”
