Dear OGF: f still possible, we might be interested in providing a use case: Art Vandenberg Georgia State University and member SURAgrid Leveraging SURAgrid Shared Community Grid to Extend Resources Available to Georgia State Research SURAgrid provides a grid infrastructure and shared community resource that enables Georgia State to improve research compute resources for researchers. SURAgrid provides a community with strategic vendor partnerships that has helped create needed cyberinfrastructure locally, offers access to additional grid-based technology, and promises to provide a significant "on-ramp" to national cyberinfrastructures such as peta-scale computing. thanks Art On Mar 25, 2008, at 1:15 PM, Ellen Stokes wrote: > Here's the proposed format for use cases..... > And here's the details (as they exist today) for the > workshop....https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/ > projects.workshops/wiki/OGFCommunityWorkshopOnAccessParadigms > > Ellen > > > > > > > Frank N Li/St Louis/IBM > 03/25/2008 12:09 PM > > To > avandenberg(a)gsu.edu > cc > Ellen Stokes/Austin/IBM@IBMUS > Subject > OGF Use Case > > > > > > Art, > > Would you be interested in providing one or more use cases for this > OGF > workshop?

Financial Markets use-case
by John Easton 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

My name is John Easton and I work for IBM in the UK. This use-case is not attributable to any specific institution (they are unwilling to have their name known), but is representative of a great many financial institutions who are all struggling with the same sorts of problems. An automatic trading use case A lot of financial markets organisations are trying to address the challenges they face around their day-to-day business. In this space, the key thing is latency. The faster you can return a response, the more chance you have of getting to the market first (beating your competitors). So... based on some trigger (likely to be a financial datafeed) from which millions of messages will be arriving every second you need to: - get the message - understand the message (i.e. is this something I care about) - if yes, then I need to invoke the appropriate calculations to make a trading decision. I also need to perform all of the necessary calculations that allow me to comply with the regulatory framework I am operating within - If no, then I just throw away the message - upon completing the calculation, I need to drive the appropriate action to the trading system. Most of the grids these organisations have in place today have 1000s (in some cases 10s of 1000s) of compute nodes. These need to be serviced with relatively small (likely a few kB in this sort of scenario - but for extremely exotic options this could easily be GB) of data. I need to turn these calculations around as fast as possible. A simple calculation needs to complete in less than a millisecond. A more involved calculation might take a few minutes, but this is calculation time - the grid infrastructure needs to do all of 'its thing' in a matter of a few milliseconds / microseconds. All of the financial calculation code is typically legacy C++ and ideally needs to be used in this environment without requiring modification. Hopefully this use-case is of interest to you?

test message #2

The first test message was indeed put on hold awaiting moderator approval, which I don't think is the intent of this list :-) I've adjusted the "privacy/sender/generic_nonmember_action" option to accept non-member postings, so hopefully this message goes through. If this change results in lots of spam, please let me know and we'll see what else we can do. Thanks, Joel -------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Replogle - Manager of Standards, Open Grid Forum replogle(a)ogf.org http://www.ogf.org
