This page compiles the development approach for the implementation of an interface between the Pipeline2 system and european EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) grid. Pipeline2 system is now able to launch jobs either in SLAC or CC IN2P3 batch farms. This project is then aimed to extend this distributed system to EGEE grid ressources.
According to Pisa Team (Michael Kuss, Johan Bregeon, Francesco Longo) work, the use of EGEE workers is a good solution to produce huge amounts of MonteCarlo simulation data. On this purpose, they have created EGEE GLAST Virtual Organization which is now operational and through which GLAST software has been installed in some EGEE sites (see VO status document by M.Kuss in attachment). An important amount of data has been produced using this system, independently of Pipeline2 interfaces and data management procedures.
The development of the link between Pipeline2 interfaces and EGEE GLAST Virtual Organization infrastructure should then allow to use EGEE ressources to answer to MonteCarlo simulations Pipeline2 requests.
Some preliminary ideas have been given in order to organize this work:
Some implementation steps have been suggested as well:
