4.8) GENI User Portal Design Topic

4.8.1) Goals

Provide a first-order definition of a "GENI User Portal", combining the capabilities of the various "portal services" that have been implemented to date, so that GENI I&M users can use the "GENI User Portal" when they conduct experiments or instrument infrastructure.

4.8.2) Team

Jim Griffioen and/or Charles ? (INSTOOLS and GEMINI, U Kentucky)
Max Ott and/or Christoph Dwertmann (NICTA)
Chris Small (NetKarma, IU)
Ahmed El-Hassany (IU)
Jeanne Ohren (GPO)
Harry Mussman (GPO)

4.8.3) Meetings

4.8.4) Vision

Towards Max Ott's vision for experiment support

4.8.4) Current and Planned Portal Services

a) INSTOOLS portal and web services (U Kentucky)

INSTOOLS evaluation

INSTOOLS Portal service capabilities:

  • Resident in browser, with FLACK experiment control tool
  • Provides a way for experimenter to find all web servers in experimenter's slice
  • Allows experimenter to move data to archive service (local (U Kentucky) or remote (CNRI)

INSTOOLS Web service capabilities:

  • One is resident in each Measurement Controller (MC)
  • Allows experimenter to configure measurements
  • Allows experimenter to view topology and view measured data
  • Allows experimenter to open a command line into any node, using vnc protocol

b) LAMP Periscope services (U Delaware+)

Periscope services capabilities:

  • Slice Overview
    • Configuration Status
    • Registered Services
      • Measurement Tools (Daemons)
      • perfSONAR Services
  • Configuration
    • Enabled Services
    • Clock Synchronization
    • Scheduled Tests
  • Visualization
    • Throughput
    • One-way Latency
    • Ping Latency
    • Host Monitoring

c) Measurement Data Archive services (GPO, CNRI)

d) NICTA Lab Notebook services

NICTA Lab Notebook Service capabilities
– Wiki: Keep notes with references
– Schedule & monitor runs
– Analysis with integrated R server
– Repository for all artifacts

e) GIMI Portal services

f) GEMINI Portal services

Expected to include some or all of:

  • LAMP Periscope services
  • INSTOOLS Portal service
  • INSTOOLS web service
  • more?

4.8.5) GENI User Portal Definition

Basic configuration

Partitions for different users; how are they managed? can they be assigned to users using WINLAB login service?
Are these portal services really a combination of gateway and user workspace services, with various available tools?

Summary of portal services use cases (Jeannie Ohren, GPO)

Portal services use cases

– User’s window into GENI
– Conveniently and easily manage GENI resources, I&M data, and experiment results
– A place to control the experiment
– Works for both short/small (weeks-months?) and long/large (months-years?) experiments
– MAP (Measurement, Analysis, Presentation)
– A place to store and retrieve experiment results and analysis (Lab book?)
– Largely stateless? (Does this conflict with 4?)
– A way to get to necessary GENI experimenter tools such as Flack, GUSH, OMNI
– Manages moving I&M data to archive (iRODS?) with metadata (MDOD?)
– Allows the public to access published experiment results
