SDCI NMI Improvement: Monitoring User-Level Grid Functionality and performance Using Inca

美国国家科学基金会网络基础设施软件开发（SDCI）计划网络基础设施办公室提案编号：0721364主要研究者：Shava Smallen机构：加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校提案标题：SDCI改进：使用Inca监控用户级网格功能和性能摘要该项目将增强称为印加的网格监控系统的可用性和灵活性。印加允许网格操作员和管理员从用户级别的角度跟踪网格的状态，提供组成网格的服务和软件的自动化测试。印加是TeraGrid的核心组成部分，至少有7个其他电网设施使用。本提案中实现的新功能包括历史数据和图形支持、针对应用程序要求进行测试，以及支持用户控制的故障排除解决方案和场景的知识库。该提案以向网格提供商提供新的故障排除能力的形式解决了知识价值。更广泛的影响本质上是通过更有效的监控使电网更加可靠和强大的潜力。

National Science FoundationNSF Software Development for Cyberinfrastructure (SDCI) ProgramOffice of CyberinfrastructureProposal Number: 0721364Principal Investigator: Shava SmallenInstitution: University of California-San DiegoProposal Title: SDCI Improvement: Monitoring User-level Grid Functionality and performance Using IncaAbstractThis project will enhance the usability and flexibility of a grid monitoring system called Inca. Inca allows grid operators and administrators to track the status of a grid from a user-level perspective, providing automated testing of the services and software that make up a Grid. Inca is a core component of TeraGrid and is used by at least 7 other grid facilities. New features implemented in this proposal include historical data and graphing support, testing against application requirements, and support for a knowledge-base of user-controlled troubleshooting solutions and scenarios. Intellectual merit is addressed by the proposal in the form of new troubleshooting capabilities made available to grid providers. Broader impact is essentially the potential to make grids more reliable and robust through far more effective monitoring.
