Introduction

Over the summer of 2012, the EGI GPGPU Virtual Team developed and distributed two surveys - a Grid User oriented survey and a Resource Centre (RC) oriented survey - on the current and future use of General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) on the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI). The key results of the surveys, which were presented at the EGI Technical Forum 2013, showed that:

  • many Resource Centres had already deployed GPGPUs or had planned to do so
  • Users would be interested in using these resources.

However, currently there is no coherent or standardised means for discovering or accessing GPGPU resources on the EGI or similarly related grid infrastructures. Integration of such resources is a non-trivial task. Many of the issues that hinder integration were discussed during a dedicated GPGPU workshop at the EGI CF 2013 in Manchester. These include:

  • Batch System integration best practices;
  • the evaluation and adoption of an appropriate GlueSchema;
  • GPGPU resource usage accounting;
  • GPGPU resource availability and reliability testing.
