INTEGRATION AND COMMISSIONING OF A PROTOTYPE FEDERATED CLOUD FOR SCIENTIFIC WORKFLOWS

Abstract

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Fermilab Grid and Cloud Computing Department and the KISTI Global Science experimental Data hub Center have worked on a multi-year Collaborative Research And Development Agreement. In this first year, they have demonstrated proof-of-principle integrations of Cloud and Grid systems to run scientific workflows of stakeholders on multiple dynamically allocated resources. The demonstrations have been in the areas of (a) Virtual Infrastructure Automation and Provisioning, (b) Interoperability and Federation of Cloud Resources, and (c) High-Throughput Fabric Virtualization. This was a matching fund project to which Fermilab and KISTI contributed equal resources.
