GlideinWMS
Abstract
The purpose of the glideinWMS is to provide a simple way to access grid and cloud resources. GlideinWMS is a Glidein Based WMS (Workload Management System) that works on top of Condor. In this FutureGrid project we plan on doing testing the cloud components of the system. We plan on using the OpenStack Folsom resources (sierra, alamo, ?) which are currently being set up.
Intellectual Merit
GlideinWMS is the main workload management system used on the Open Science Grid today, and thus provides the base for many large science projects, including CMS. Making GlidienWMS work well in a cloud setting will provide an increase, both in resources available as well as capabilities, to those projects.
Broader Impact
GlideinWMS provides the HTC capabilities for researchers to get their science done.
Use of FutureGrid
We plan on using the upcoming OpenStack Folsom installs on Sierra and Alamo.
Scale Of Use
As this is basically a provisioning / cloud bursting experiment, we plan to use maybe 10-20 instances on each resource, but they will come and go frequently.
