STI: Marist Grid Collaboration in Support of Advanced Internet and Research Applications

该项目将建立一个网格测试平台，为教师提供开发和测试应用程序的机会。网格测试平台将允许其他学校的合作者获得知识和经验，使机构能够培训他们的教师和学生在未来的应用中利用网格。现有和未来的应用将用于测试电网的可行性，并提供一种改进电网技术的方法。本项目有六个主要目标：1。按照NSF中间件计划的描述，对经过测试的网格技术（如Globus Toolkit）进行试点；2. 在不同的选区之间建立信任层，并通过身份验证/消息传递系统记录经验，以便在网格上共享资源；3. 试验并记录路线图架构，以便存档、备份；恢复数据存储并在参与站点团队之间提供最佳实践；4. 识别与作业调度、负载平衡和防火墙互操作性架构相关的问题；5. 在网格测试平台上测试现有和/或新的教师应用程序；6. 向广大用户传播他们感兴趣的应用、发现和成果；和7。在成功部署后扩大电网参与者，以缩小现有基础设施差距。”

This project will establish a grid testbed to provide opportunities for faculty members to develop and test applications. The Grid testbed will allow collaborators at other schools to gain knowledge and experience enabling institutions to train their faculty and students to utilize the Grid for their future applications...Existing and future applications will be used to test the viability of the grid and provide a means to improve the grid technology. This project has six primary objectives: 1. To pilot tested Grid technologies (such as Globus Toolkit) as described in the NSF Middleware Initiatives; 2. To establish a layer of Trust among diverse constituencies and document experiences with authentication/messaging systems for sharing resources over the Grid; 3. To experiment with and document a roadmap architecture for archival, backup;and recovery of data storage and provisioning best practices among participant site teams; 4. Identify issues related to job scheduling, load balancing and firewalls interoperability architecture; 5. To pilot exiting and/or new faculty applications on the Grid testbed; 6. To disseminate applications, findings, and outcomes of interest to a broad range of users; and 7. To expand Grid participants upon successful deployment in order to narrow the existing infrastructure gap."
