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 (GPO)
GENI experiment management Step 3: Obtain slice, install software
- Now: ExoGENI experimenter typically using Flukes to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Now: InstaGENI experimneter typically using FLACK to obtain slice, load images/pkgs
- Next: move towards common graphical resource assignment tool(s) for both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks
Current GENI CH Portal
(Tom Mitchell or Aaron Helsinger) (GPO)
5min
3 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Current FLACK tool
(Rob Ricci) (Univ Utah)
5min
3 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Current Flukes tool
(Ilia Baldine) (RENCI)
5min
3 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Roundtable discussion
15min
(Tom Mitchell or Aaron Helsinger) (GPO); (Ilia Baldine) (RENCI); (Rob Ricci) (Univ Utah); Niky Riga (GPO)
How do we move towards common graphical resource assignment tool for both ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks?
What can we learn from current tools?
What capabilities are required? desirable?
Can we adapt a current tool?
Is there new technology that should be used?
What is relationship to portals?
[Any additional topics, suggestions and issues suggested by members of roundtable?]
At the end:
- List of conclusions
- List of issues
- Team to continue discussion
3) Integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces
9:05am
Introduction
Harry Mussman (GPO)
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

Roundtable discussion
15min (Tom Mitchell or Aaron Helsinger) (GPO); Hussam Nasir (Univ Kentucky); (Mike Zink) (UMass Amherst); Jeanne Ohren (GPO)
How to we move towards integration of portals and all tools with graphical interfaces, to better unify experiment environment?
What features are required? desirable?
Strawman:
- Consider single sign-on at GENI CH portal,
- link to common graphical resource assignment tool(s), ot obtain slice
- 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)
[Any additional topics, suggestions and issues suggested 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 experimenter's application services
9:35am
Introduction
Harry Mussman (GPO)
Step 5: Run/orchestrate I&M and experimenter's application services
- 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: Integrate orchestration of all services, including GIMI, GEMINI and experimenter's application services, to better unify experiment environment
- Suggest: Introduce OMF for config/orchestration of all I&M tools and experimenter's application services; later, add optional graphical interface
Summary of OMF capabilities
Max Ott (NICTA)
10min
5 slides: current config; current capabilities and issues; future possibilities
Roundtable discussion
Max Ott (NICTA); Marshall Brinn (GPO); Martin Swany (Indiana Univ); Fraida Fund (NYU Poly)
15min
Should we introduce OMF into GENI for config/orchestration of all I&M tools and experimenter's application services?
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?]
