In this session, we explain how Financial Services organizations can leverage AWS grid computing capabilities to perform large-scale calculations for risk management purposes. Numerous financial services companies face the same basic challenge: modeling multiple scenarios with different risk factors simultaneously or in quick succession in order to make informed decisions that maximize gains and minimize financial loss. Some examples of these workloads include Monte Carlo simulations, price model validation and back-testing, and risk calculations for hedging and capital optimization strategies. We provide programmatic guidance around what AWS services to use when running a grid computing cluster that requires thousands of cores and specific industry use cases and key benefits around speed and costs that the AWS platform, auto-scaling capabilities, and various compute services can help achieve.

Thomas Kentemich unterhält sich mit Till Schulte-Coerne über das Thema Grid-Computing. Ein Grid ist ein verteiltes System, das intensive Berechnungen auf einem virtuellen Supercomputer aus lose gekoppelten Einzelsystemen löst. Die Ressourcen in einem Grid werden von den Nutzern gemeinschaftlich und transparent genutzt.

In the 1990s a number of technological innovations appeared that revolutionized biology, and 'Bioinformatics' became a new scientific discipline. Microarrays can measure the abundance of tens of thousands of mRNA species, data on the complete genomic sequences of many different organisms are available, and other technologies make it possible to study various processes at the molecular level. In Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, current research and computations are limited by the available computer hardware. However, this problem can be solved using high-performance computing resources. There are several reasons for the increased focus on high-performance computing: larger data sets, increased computational requirements stemming from more sophisticated methodologies, and latest developments in computer chip production. The open-source programming language 'R' was developed to provide a powerful and extensible environment for statistical and graphical techniques. There are many good reasons for preferring R to other software or programming languages for scientific computations (in statistics and biology). However, the development of the R language was not aimed at providing a software for parallel or high-performance computing. Nonetheless, during the last decade, a great deal of research has been conducted on using parallel computing techniques with R. This PhD thesis demonstrates the usefulness of the R language and parallel computing for biological research. It introduces parallel computing with R, and reviews and evaluates existing techniques and R packages for parallel computing on Computer Clusters, on Multi-Core Systems, and in Grid Computing. From a computer-scientific point of view the packages were examined as to their reusability in biological applications, and some upgrades were proposed. Furthermore, parallel applications for next-generation sequence data and preprocessing of microarray data were developed. Microarray data are characterized by high levels of noise and bias. As these perturbations have to be removed, preprocessing of raw data has been a research topic of high priority over the past few years. A new Bioconductor package called affyPara for parallelized preprocessing of high-density oligonucleotide microarray data was developed and published. The partition of data can be performed on arrays using a block cyclic partition, and, as a result, parallelization of algorithms becomes directly possible. Existing statistical algorithms and data structures had to be adjusted and reformulated for the use in parallel computing. Using the new parallel infrastructure, normalization methods can be enhanced and new methods became available. The partition of data and distribution to several nodes or processors solves the main memory problem and accelerates the methods by up to the factor fifteen for 300 arrays or more. The final part of the thesis contains a huge cancer study analysing more than 7000 microarrays from a publicly available database, and estimating gene interaction networks. For this purpose, a new R package for microarray data management was developed, and various challenges regarding the analysis of this amount of data are discussed. The comparison of gene networks for different pathways and different cancer entities in the new amount of data partly confirms already established forms of gene interaction.

Als essentielle Komponente des IT-Security Managements umfasst das Identity & Access Management (I&AM) saemtliche organisatorischen und technischen Prozesse der Verwaltung von Dienstnutzern einer Einrichtung und deren Berechtigungen; dabei werden die Datenbestaende verschiedenster autoritativer Datenquellen wie Personal- und Kundenverwaltungssysteme aggregiert, korreliert und in aufbereiteter Form den IT-Services zur Verfuegung gestellt. Das Federated Identity Management (FIM) hat zum Ziel, die so geschaffenen integrierten Datenbestaende auch organisationsuebergreifend nutzbar zu machen; diese Funktionalitaet wird beispielsweise im Rahmen von Business-to-Business-Kooperationen, Outsourcing-Szenarien und im Grid-Computing zunehmend dringender benoetigt. Die Vermeidung von Redundanz und Inkonsistenzen, aber auch die garantierte Verfuegbarkeit der Daten und die Einhaltung von Datenschutzbestimmungen stellen hierbei besonders kritische Erfolgsfaktoren dar. Mit der Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), den Spezifikationen der Liberty Alliance und WS-Federation als integralem Bestandteil des Web Services WS-*-Protokollstacks haben sich industrielle und partiell standardisierte technische Ansaetze fuer FIM herauskristallisiert, deren praktische Umsetzung jedoch noch haeufig an der nur unzureichend geklaerten, komplexen organisatorischen Einbettung und den technischen Unzulaenglichkeiten hinsichtlich der Integration in bestehende IT-Infrastrukturen scheitert. In dieser Arbeit wird zunaechst eine tiefgehende und in diesem Umfang neue Anforderungsanalyse durchgefuehrt, die neben I&AM und FIM auch die als User-Centric Identity Management (UCIM) bezeichnete Benutzerperspektive beruecksichtigt; die Schwerpunkte der mehr als 60 strukturierten und gewichteten Anforderungen liegen dabei auf der Integration von I&AM- und FIM-Systemen sowohl auf der Seite der organisation, der die Benutzer angehoeren (Identity Provider), als auch beim jeweiligen Dienstleister (Service Provider), und auf dem Einbezug von organisatorischen Randbedingungen sowie ausgewaehlten Sicherheits- und Datenschutzaspekten. Im Rahmen eines umfassenden, gesamtheitlichen Architekturkonzepts wird anschliessend eine Methodik zur systematischen Integration von FIM-Komponenten in bestehende I&AM-Systeme erarbeitet. Neben der praezisen Spezifikation der technischen Systemschnittstellen, die den bestehenden Ansaetzen fehlt, fokussiert diese Arbeit auf die organisatorische Eingliederung aus Sicht des IT Service Managements, wobei insbesondere das Security Management und das Change Management nach ITIL vertieft werden. Zur Kompensation weiterer grundlegender Defizite bisheriger FIM-Ansaetze werden im Rahmen eines Werkzeugkonzepts fuenf neue FIM-Komponenten spezifiziert, die auf eine verbesserte Interoperabilitaet der FIM-Systeme der an einer so genannten Identity Federation beteiligten organisationen abzielen. Darueber hinaus wird auf Basis der eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) eine policy-basierte Privacy Management Architektur spezifiziert und integriert, die eine dezentrale Steuerung und Kontrolle von Datenfreigaben durch Administratoren und Benutzer ermoeglicht und somit essentiell zur Einhaltung von Datenschutzauflagen beitraegt. Eine Beschreibung der prototypischen Implementierung der Werkzeugkonzepte mit einer Diskussion ihrer Performanz und die methodische Anwendung des Architekturkonzepts auf ein komplexes, realistisches Szenario runden die Arbeit ab.
