Campus bridging pilot project reports: XSEDE12 panel

Published: 16 July 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The mission of XSEDE Campus Bridging Program is to improve access to national cyberinfrastructure and ease the transition of researchers from campus cyberinfrastructure to national resources. As described in the 2011 ACCI Task Force Report on Campus Bridging, the critical task for campus bridging is the seamless integration of cyberinfrastructure between scientists' desktops and local campus, regional, and national cyberinfrastructure. Bridging the gap between researcher ancyberinfrastructure requires an integrated approach to security, software, and system layouts to allow consistent access to systems across multiple levels.
In order to facilitate the use of XSEDE resources by campus researchers, the XSEDE Campus Bridging team has started a pilot program to test the Genesis II software. The Genesis II Global Federated File System allows for a global name space that spans from clients at the campus level across regional and national cyberinfrastructure resources. Working with the Genesis II Execution Management Service, users can access and share files across the wide area network, and use the file system as an abstraction layer for accessing job submission queues and databases as well as files.
Each of the pilot project sites proposed ambitious plans for making use of the Genesis II software. The pilot projects sites will present their use cases for the software, detailing their plans for integrating campus systems with XSEDE resources and partners at other campuses. Panel members will also discuss the use cases developed by the Campus Bridging team with the Architecture and Design team.
