Grid services

• Compute grid

• Data grid

• Access grid

• Instrument grid

Compute Grid

• In a nutshell: A collection of computers from different administrative domains that behave like a single resource.

• Examples: Nimrod, BELLE data project, APAC

• Issues: resources, trust, middleware (OGSA, Globus), AAA & Applications

10

Data Grid

• In a nutshell: A collection of data sets from different administrative domains that behave like a single resource.

• Examples: FilmEd, VO, PARADISEC, BELLE data project, BioMirror

• Issues: copyright, metadata, discovery, rights management, AAA & Applications

11

Access Grid

• In a nutshell: A collection of interactive, multimedia visualisation centres that support distributed large-scale meetings, collaborative work sessions, seminars, lectures, tutorials and training.

• Examples: USyd ViSLAB, 40 AGN’s

• Issues: middleware, security, specialist operator, integration of applications

12

Instrument Grid

• In a nutshell: Remote, collaborative access to unique / scarce instruments such as microscopes, particle accelerators, telescopes…

• Examples: NANO & USyd EMU

• Issues: instrument interfaces, middleware, AAA
