Job Submission
• On the fly file staging
• Conversion of command line into Globus RSL format
• Job status monitoring
• Output stream
• Quick Launch Buttons
File Transfer
• Between the desktop and any grid machine
• Vice versa
• Faster than SCP
• 3rd party transfers
Outcomes
• Ability for people with limited grid knowledge to utilise available computing power
• Demonstrations– CC Grid 2002– SC 2001, 2002
• Customised Client• Motivated others to set up their own Linux
clusters to join our gird.
Future GoalsDefine TRASC Daemon APIs
– Serial, parallel & parametric jobs– File transfers– Job monitors– LDAP information– Secure Environment
Other Interests
• Load Sharing
• Australian Certificate Authority
• Identify similar projects & interests
