Diet on the decrypthon grid


The Decrypthon project is resulting from the collaboration between the CNRS, the french association AFM, and IBM. It aims at providing computing resources and storage spaces to the researchers in bioinformatics. These resources, located in the universities, constitute a grid made of six sites : Bordeaux, Jussieu, Lille, Lyon, Orsay and Rouen, linked by the RENATER network.

The Decrypthon university grid is managed by the DIET middleware, which enables the deployment of client-server applications on a large number of machines.




The Decrypthon grid is articulated around the DIET middleware, a web portal to access the resources, and the local resource managers of the sites.
Diet is deployed on each site : Server Daemons (SeD) are running on their frontends and are capable of submitting jobs to the local batch scheduler (OAR on Lyon's Linux cluster, LoadLeveler in the AIX sites.). The Linux server Decrypthon2 is running Diet clients, controlled by web interface, and communicating with the master agent on Decrypthon1 and the SeDs.

On the Project users side, a web interface dedicated to their application is developed, enabling them to submit jobs and download their results.
