Recommendations
-
Only the bottom lines should be given during the
presentation (Reviewers are supposed to have read all details in the
deliverables)
-
Following a suggestion of the PMB members, a video of
the Rehearsal (February 27th) will be done by WP11 and shown in case
of real demos problems.
-
In terms of participants, the WP managers are
reminded that it is there responsibility to ensure they will have sufficient
colleagues present to be able to respond to the reviewers’ questions. At least
one representative of each partner and assistant contractor should be also be
present.
Demonstrations
Demo
points:
Times
foreseen for the review:
Roberto Barbera is a backup if necessary (different
demo)
Ingo will show and explain the monitoring map as part of
the demo introduction (contact person is Franck Bonnassieux).
Note: the time slot is 1 hour and the above timings come
to 55’ so, assuming we need 5’ for change of speakers/presenters, we have no
spare time so we have to stick very closely to the schedule.
Demo will held in
B600 integration room
Hardware for demo:
2 laptops – running Linux/NICE2000. Provided by CERN
Will be used to display mapcentre and to log into a
testbed machine where the EDG User Interface software can be run
1 laptop – running Windows/Linux. Provided by Ingo
Will be used to show slides for the introductory
presentation
3 beamers to project the screen of the PCs and laptop
1 beamer will be provided by CNR (Susanna)
1 beamer will be provided by Alice (Ingo)
1 beamer will be provided by the Project Office (Bob)
Ø
3 screens (at least 2mx1,5 m) to be provided by CERN
-
One for Ingo’s presentation and explanations of the
demonstration (Eric),
-
One for the demos
-
One for a map of the Testbed 1 (current 5 sites)
which will flip to a general map centers (all sites in the future)
Sites for demo
The
following sites are foreseen to be able for the demo (in order of priority):
CERN
Lyon
(for access to storage elements)
CNAF/NIKHEF/RAL
As a
backup, the intention is to keep the existing EDG v1.0 setup in CNAF in case EG
v1.1.1 has difficulties,
It will be a LHCb demo (Alice detector will not be
presented during the review)
Software from WPs 1,2,5 will be represent the complete
middleware chain from job submission, to quality checking, to final data
(submit job, copy I/O data, logging, copy output to MSS, update L&B, check
validity of data).
Job
submission from UI on testbed machine that makes use of 3 sites. Production and
display of histograms. As a backup, a copy of the histograms will be placed on
the local disk before the demo starts.
Validation
of Ozone data
- Satellite data GOME from KNMI
- Lidar data from IPSL
Flow
processing :
- Selection
of data coincidence based on location and time criteria
- Processing
of the selected data
-
Computation of the mean and std deviation
of the difference between these two sets of data
- Graphical
representation : Ozone profile, statistical results
2/ Possible
contribution of ESA and KNMI
KNMI : Gome
ozone profile from the KNMI web site or from "new" OPERA code
Registration of Gome files on the SE
CERN using the replica catalogue
Request and the location of the files
for IPSL programm
ESA : IDL
RPM sets on the CERN machine
IPSL provides the IDL code and data to
plot (on next Monday - 18/02/02)
3/ Plan
- Running of
the IPSL demo, at it was, on the testbed1 at CERN or on other sites
as soon as
it works.
-
Integration of the ESA and KNMI contribution next week (18-20 /02/02)
- On next
monday (18/02/02) phone conference to check the status of each partner work
The principle of the demo is to show
how a biologists can use the grid for genomics comparative analysis. They will
have an input file made of several sequences to be compared to a database.
They will execute the genomics
comparative analysis job (BLAST) on the testbed1 and will save the result of
the comparison on a storage element, publish it in the replica catalog and then
get the results from the replica catalog and show the data through a graphical
interface.
The goal of the first application is
to execute the comparative genomics algorithm BLAST on the testbed1 through a
graphical interface.
BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search
Tool) is a set of similarity search programs designed to explore all of the
available sequence databases regardless of whether the query is protein or DNA.
The BLAST programs have been designed for speed, with a minimal sacrifice of
sensitivity to distant sequence relationships. The scores assigned in a BLAST
search have a well-defined statistical interpretation, making real matches
easier to distinguish from random background hits. BLAST uses a heuristic
algorithm which seeks local as opposed to global alignments and is therefore
able to detect relationships among sequences which share only isolated regions
of similarity.
The
BLAST is one of the algorithms most
used by the biologists of the whole world, in many fields of search. The code
is made up of a main program which calls several subroutines. It also works
with larger files, like biological databases, or
output files, ranging from a few Mo to a few Go.
A technical
note (DataGrid-10-TED-105-2_4) describes the deployment of the BLAST algorithm
on DataGrid testbed0. After evaluating the available options to launch BLAST on
a remote machine using Globus commands, a script was written to automatically
execute the commands required for this goal. The performances of the so-called
Grid-Blast were evaluated on the CC-IN2P3 farm by comparing the yeast protein
database to itself.
For the demonstration, the script used
to execute the Grid-Blast has been evolved into JDL description language.
The demonstration scenario is the
following :
- Through a graphical interface, select a set of protein sequences.
- Execute the grid-blast to compare these sequences to the swissprot
database.
- Save the results
on a storage element and publish them on the replica catalogue
- Query the grid to retrieve the results
- Visualize them on a graphical interface
