Dynamic virtualization tools for running ALICE grid jobs on the Nordic ARC grid

چکیده
This paper examines different virtualization technologies with the aim of running ALICE grid jobs on the ARC middleware which is used as internal middleware for the Nordic Tier-1 centre. The Vmbatch system, which allows dynamic management of virtual worker nodes, is presented. First tests confirm that management of virtual nodes cause minimal overhead for a typical ALICE simulation job.

Exploring virtualisation tools with a new virtualisation provisioning method to test dynamic grid environments for ALICE grid jobs over ARC grid middleware
The Nordic Tier-1 centre for LHC is distributed over several computing centres. It uses ARC as the internal computing grid middleware. ALICE uses its own grid middleware AliEn to distribute jobs and the necessary software application stack. To make use of most of the AliEn infrastructure and software deployment methods for running ALICE grid jobs on ARC, we are investigating different possible ...
متن کاملReducing deadline miss rate for grid workloads running in virtual machines : a deadline-aware and adaptive approach
This thesis explores three major areas of research; integration of virutalization into scientific grid infrastructures, evaluation of the virtualization overhead on HPC grid job’s performance, and optimization of job execution times to increase their throughput by reducing job deadline miss rate. Integration of the virtualization into the grid to deploy on-demand virtual machines for jobs in a ...
متن کاملA Security Monitoring Framework For Virtualization Based HEP Infrastructures
High Energy Physics (HEP) distributed computing infrastructures require automatic tools to monitor, analyze and react to potential security incidents. These tools should collect and inspect data such as resource consumption, logs and sequence of system calls for detecting anomalies that indicate the presence of a malicious agent. They should also be able to perform automated reactions to attack...
متن کاملThe ALICE analysis train system
In the ALICE experiment hundreds of users are analyzing big datasets on a Grid system. High throughput and short turnaround times are achieved by a centralized system called the LEGO trains. This system combines analysis from different users in so-called analysis trains which are then executed within the same Grid jobs thereby reducing the number of times the data needs to be read from the stor...
متن کاملA New Job Scheduling in Data Grid Environment Based on Data and Computational Resource Availability
Data Grid is an infrastructure that controls huge amount of data files, and provides intensive computational resources across geographically distributed collaboration. The heterogeneity and geographic dispersion of grid resources and applications place some complex problems such as job scheduling. Most existing scheduling algorithms in Grids only focus on one kind of Grid jobs which can be data...
