SC2005 Demonstration

Description: Caltech, CERN, SLAC and FNAL's demonstration will use national and international networks to demonstrate the next generation of globally distributed physics analysis tools for Particle Physics and eScience research. The technologies being developed most notably in the UltraLight, FAST, PPDG, GriphyN, iVDGL and ESLEA projects will be used to show components of the so-called "Grid Analysis Environment", a grid infrastructure for physics analysis.

These components will be part of the toolbox a physicist working on the next generation of experiments will have at his/her disposal to manage and control the worldwide Grid resources available for analyzing events that are produced at the world's premiere High Energy Physics Laboratories. In particular, we hope to demonstrate on-demand network and resource provisioning in response to event analysis requests issued from a physicist's desktop computer. The complex workflows implied by the requests will be translated using provisioning algorithms into network flow allocations and scheduled resource booking on remote computers/clusters.

Throughout the demonstration we will make use of a sophisticated monitoring framework (MonALISA, developed at Caltech) to illustrate the progress of the analysis tasks, data flows in the network, and the effects on the global system.
