“…XSEDE is a continuation of TeraGrid and is using the TeraGrid information services until a new information system can be deployed. There are a variety of subsystems in the TeraGrid/XSEDE information system , but the resource information gathering and publishing is based on the Globus WS‐MDS . There is a WS‐MDS running on each XSEDE system that periodically gathers information by reading local files and running information gathering programs.…”

SUMMARYThe Texas Advanced Computing Center provides a variety of high‐end resources to state, national, and international computational scientists and engineers. Many users obtain information about these resources via the Texas Advanced Computing Center user interfaces, which are supported by an information gathering and distribution infrastructure. After a number of years of use, we needed to improve our user interfaces by both redesigning the web interface and adding mobile interfaces. To support this, we also needed to update our information infrastructure. This paper presents our new design, describes how it improves over the previous approach, and shows that this design meets our current and expected future needs.

“…XSEDE is a continuation of TeraGrid [26] and is currently using the TeraGrid information services. There are a variety of TeraGrid/XSEDE information subsystems [27] and these subsystems are only partially integrated. The Integrated Infor-mation Service (IIS) is implemented using the Globus WS-MDS [24], a set of distributed services that support reading and writing of XML documents via web service interfaces.…”

This paper describes an information system designed to support the large volume of monitoring information generated by a distributed testbed. This monitoring information is produced by several subsystems and consists of status and performance data that needs to be federated, distributed, and stored in a timely and easy to use manner. Our approach differs from existing approaches because it federates and distributes information at a low architectural level via messaging; a natural match to many of the producers and consumers of information. In addition, a database is easily layered atop the messaging layer for consumers that want to query and search the information. Finally, a common language to represent information in all layers of the information system makes it significantly easier for users to consume information. Performance data shows that this approach meets the significant needs of FutureGrid and would meet the needs of an experimental infrastructure twice the size of FutureGrid. In addition, this design also meets the needs of existing distributed scientific infrastructures.
