By way of analogy with Linux > distribution providers and the Linux kernel, Platform Globus represents > the redhatted version of the `grid kernel' based on the Globus Toolkit. > By > focusing on pre-built distributions, documentation, support, training > and > professional services, plus enhanced interoperability with Platform > LSFÒ, > Platform Globus remains consistent with the vision and mandate of the > Globus Projectä. This presentation provides an introduction to Platform > Globus, and updates on several projects that are currently underway. > > > Platform LSF 5 Update > > Platform LSF 5 represents a recent and significant update to the > industry > leading workload manager. By redesigning core LSF internals, Platform is > now able to respond to industry requirements in an accelerated fashion. > In > this presentation, features of LSF 5 most relevant to those involved in > high-performance computing (HPC) will be showcased. Particular attention > will be given to the new Web access interface, the open-architecture > scheduler, and new scheduling policies (e.g. advance reservation, > resource > leasing, etc.). Platform LSF is shown to be a natural complement to > grids > based on the Globus Toolkit or Platform MultiCluster. > > Ian Lumb, Grid Solutions Manager, Platform Computing has led a career in > scientific research and distributed computing on an international scale. > He joined Platform Computing Inc. in August 1998 to establish the > company's training practice. He subsequently served as the technical > liaison for the company's system vendor partners, before focusing on > Grid > Computing. Prior to joining Platform, he served as a researcher and > educator in physical sciences at Toronto's York University, where he > also > got his introduction to distributed computing.
