Implementation of a Distributed Computing Gateway (DCG) at Sandia National Laboratories
Several modifications to the Sandia National Laboratories' current scientific Central Computing Facility (CCF) are being made. These modifications include development of a Central Computing Network (CCN) and a dispersed Distributed Computing Network (DCN). It is necessary to develop a gateway between these two networks. This connection will permit distributed computers in the DCN to gain access to the data link, various support nodes, and the worker computers in the CCF. This presentation describes current efforts at Sandia National Laboratories to implement a VAX/VMS Distributed Computing Gateway (DCG) to serve as an interface node between the CCN and DCN. The functional characteristics of the DCG are identified. The hardware and software configurations are overviewed. Finally, security considerations pertinent to the implementation are addressed.
