Service Developers Roundtable at GEC16
Tuesday, March 19, 8:30am - 10am
Room:
Session leader: Harry Mussman (GENI Project Office, Raytheon BBN Technologies)
Description
This session will focus on the evolution of tools and services to allow GENI to work towards a "unified experiment environment".
The discussion topics are:
- Future of graphical resource assignment tools
- Integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces
- Introduction of the OMF to configure and orchestrate Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) services and the experimenter's application services
In each case, we will start with a review of current tools and services, and then have a round-table discussion possible next steps towards a “unified experiment environment”.
Finally, we will form teams to continue the discussion.
Pre-Requisites
None
Agenda
This is a tentative agenda, which may change.
1) Introductions
8:30am
2) Future of graphical resource assignment tools
8:35am
Introduction
Harry Mussman
GENI experiment management Step 3: Obtain slice, install software
- Now: ExoGENI typically using Flukes to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Now: InstaGENI typically using FLACK to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Next: move towards common graphical resource assignment tool for both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
Current GENI CH Portal

Roundtable discussion
15min
(Tom Mitchell); (Ilia Baldine); (Rob Ricci); Niky Riga
How do we move towards common graphical resource assignment tool for both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks?
What features are required? desirable?
What is relationship to portals?
[Any additional topics, suggestions and issues suggested AHEAD OF TIME by members of roundtable?]
At the end:
- List of conclusions
- List of issues
- Team to continue discussion
3) Rationalization of all graphical portals, and all graphical tools

Introduction
Harry Mussman
GENI experiment management Step 2: Establish exper mgmt environment
- Next: GENI CH Portal, to establish credentials, and enter GENI
GENI experiment management Step 3: Obtain slice, install software
- Now: ExoGENI typically using Flukes to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Now: InstaGENI typically using FLACK to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Next: move towards common graphical resource assignment tool for both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
GENI experiment management Step 5: Run/orchestrate Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) services and the experimenter's application services
- Now: GEMINI I&M tools use portal to GUI, to config/orchestrate
- Now: GEMINI I&M tools use portal to GUI, to configure and present graphs
- Now: GIMI I&M tools use portal including GUI, to configure and present graphs
GENI experiment management Step 6: Analyze
- Now: Both use portal on GENI Storage Service (iRODS) to curate files (objects)
Next: Integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces, to better unify experiment environment
Current GENI CH Portal
(Tom Mitchell or Aaron Helsinger)
5min
3 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Current GEMINI Portal (GENI Desktop)
(Jim Griffioen)
5min
3 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Current GIMI Portal/GUI
(Mike Zink)
5min

Roundtable discussion
15min (Tom Mitchell or Aaron Helsinger); (Jim Griffioen); (Mike Zink); (Jeanne Ohren)
How to we move towards integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces, to better unify experiment environment?
Consider:
- Consider single sign-on at GENI CH portal,
- then link to GEMINI Portal (GENI Desktop) for entry into I&M tools,
- then link to I&M GUIs (including the GIMI portal/GUI and the iRODS portal/GUI)
What features are required? desirable?
[Any additional topics, suggestions and issues suggested AHEAD OF TIME by members of roundtable?]
At the end:
- List of conclusions
- List of issues
- Team to continue discussion
4) Introduction of OMF to config/orchestrate I&M and ExpApp services
9:35am
Introduction
Harry Mussman
Step 5: Run/orchestrate I&M and exp app
- Now: GEMINI uses portal to GUI, to config/orchestrate
- Now: GIMI uses OMF EC with Ruby script to config/orchestrate
- Gap: no common way to config/orchestrate exp apps
- Next: Need to rationalize orchestration of all services, including GIMI, GEMINI and Exp Apps, to better unify experiment environment
- Suggest: Introduce OMF for config/orchestration of all I&M tools and Exp Apps; later, add optional graphical interface
Summary of OMF capabilities
Max Ott
10min
5 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Roundtable discussion
Max Ott; Marshall Brinn; Martin Swany; Fraida Fund 15min
Should we introduce OMF for config/orchestration of all I&M tools and Exp Apps?
What are advantages?
What are current limitations that need to be fixed?
Could we add a graphical interface?
[Any additional topics, suggestions and issues suggested AHEAD OF TIME by members of roundtable?]
