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

这个项目将建立一个网格测试平台，为教职员工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利用网格进行未来的应用。现有的和未来的应用程序将被用来测试网格的可行性，并提供一种方法来改进网格技术。该项目有六个主要目标：1。 按照NSF中间件计划中的描述，对网格技术（如Globus Toolkit）进行试点测试; 在不同的支持者之间建立信任层，并记录认证/消息传递系统的经验，以在网格上共享资源; 3. 试验并记录归档、备份的路线图体系结构;参与者站点团队之间恢复数据存储和配置最佳实践; 4. 确定与作业调度、负载平衡和防火墙互操作性架构相关的问题; 5. 在网格测试平台上试点现有和/或新的教师应用程序; 6. 向广大用户传播感兴趣的应用、研究结果和成果; 7. 在成功部署后扩大网格参与者，以缩小现有基础设施的差距。"

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."
