Abstract

One of the goals of the HPC-Europa project [1] is to provide users with a. Single Point of Access (SPA) to the resources of HPC centers in Europe. To this end, the HPC-Europa Portal is being built to provide transparent, uniform, flexible and intuitive user access to HPC-Europa resources.

In this paper, we present a mechanism that enables end-users to transparently access the diverse services available in the HPC-Europa environment. The uniform job submission interface that uses this mechanism, utilizing the Job Specification Description Language (JSDL) [3], is described. We also present the architecture of the SPA, based on the GridSphere portal framework [2]. Finally, we discuss the various interoperability problems encountered, in particular those concerning job submission, security and accounting.
