Course Description

Course Description: The course aims at providing students state-of-the-art computational technologies to which many researchers consider as the next generation of the Internet. The subject will cover various aspects of the computational Grid, from the infrastructure to the high level tools and programming models to exploit the performance of the Grid. The topic also discusses latest Web technologies such as web services, web security and how these technologies have been used in building the Grid infrastructure.

Lab & Exercises

• Lab hours: 6:30 - 9:00 on Thursday

• Lab 1: Submitting job with globusrun-ws
  • Reading: GT 4.0 WS GRAM User's guide and globusrun-ws
• Lab 2, 3 & 4: Writing GT4 Services & clients
  • Reading: GT4 programmer tutorials
  • Example code
  • Java WS-core binary
• Exercise: Writing a MathService (with 4 operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and a MathClient for the service
  • Deadline: End of Lab 5
  • Worth: 15%
  • The service has to deal with division by zero (as part of the service, client implementation to deal with division by zero will not accepted).
  • The service has to be prefixed by your name. For example, if your name Pham Tran Vu, then the name of the service should be: ptvuMathService. This is to avoid conflicts when many different math services are deployed on the test server.

Assessment

• Exercises: 30% (15% Lab exercise + 15% Seminar report)
• Seminar: 20%
• Final exam: 50%
