GPIR Browser Portlet

The GPIR Browser Portlet enables a user to view information about the resources in a grid, obtained from the GridPort Information Repository (GPIR) service. The Grid Portal Information Repository (GPIR) includes both static and dynamic grid and systems data. The static data includes a resource's institution and department, name, system type, number of CPU's, peak performance, memory, and disk space. Dynamic data includes a resource's status, load, and number of jobs running.

This portlet provides the user with 2 views into the information contained in GPIR:

  • Systems view: summarizes both static and dynamic data for each resource in the VO.
  • Machine view: of the GPIR Browser displays machine-specific information to the user. The GPIR browser portlet allows a user to access various types of information about resources in a particular virtual organization (VO). A user may access a resource's static information , the resource's message of the day, and a summary of all jobs in the resource's queue (depending on whether or not this information is being periodically ingested into the GPIR service by GPIR information providers).
