Objective:

  • Enable Slicer3 to execute work in a distributed grid environment
  • Enable NA-MIC algorithms to be tested in a distributed grid environment

Progress:

  • Installed and updated grid infrastructure components: namic-srb submit machine, implemented configuration for Condor/Globus/GSI to allow NA-MIC users access to 64 node cluster.
  • Defined Data Execution Model for Slicer3 - The purpose of this is to facilitate a "run-everywhere" philosophy for algorithm writers. If NAMIC adopts a standard for algorithm "self-description" that is followed when command line executables are written, Slicer, the grid, clusters, etc... should be able to use the executables directly in their environment.
  • Defined API for the Grid Interface - based on the execution model, this API enables the running of algorithms in a distributed grid environment
