SUMS and Distributed Computing

• Distributed Computing

  • is the ability to transparently access remote resources (to/from) from a single point client
  • Grid computing is aimed to achieve this goal
  • The US have three major collaboratory projects
    • iVDGL (International Virtual data Grid Laboratory)
    • GriPhyn (Grid Physics Network) : VDT
    • PPDG (Particle Physics Data Grid)

• STAR is part of 2of 3 projects

  • Works with Condor, VDT, J-Lab, SDM Berkeley, ITD
  • Main projects: Scheduling, Monitoring, Data Management
  • SRM / HRM file transfer from/to BNL/PDSF
  • Facts:
    • SUMS works with Grid today ...
    • GridCollector may speed up your analysis
