E-Science in Thailand: A brief timeline
• 1994 NECTEC put Thailand's first vectorised multiprocessor supercomputer, the Cray EL98– Computational Chemistry– Computational Physics
• 1996 Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) use IBMSP – NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) project
• 1997 the Computational Science and Engineering Programme Consortium was established as a cooperative effort among Thai universities and the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).
• 1999 Kasetsart University built 72 nodes Beowulf Cluster “Pirun”– Academic and research applicaiton– Start of the booming of Beowulf Cluster in Thailand
• 2001 Thailand transition into Grid Era

ThaiGrid Drug Discovery Infrastructure
• Partners:– Dr. Jak Saengma, KU– Somsak Sriprayoonsakul, TNGC– IBM Thailand
• Challenges– From over 10000 active compounds available
from Thai medicinal plants database, find a smallest set of compounds that has a potential to be used as a drug
– Very compute intensive. Several month of computing time
• Solution: Use grid to increase computing power to 10-100 times
– Distributed screening process to hundred of hosts on the Grid
• Benefit– Speeding up time to results– Allow scientists to spend more time analyzing
results
Implicit Narrowband Level Set Method for Fire Spread Model
Dr. Pallop HuabsomboonMahidol University
• Challenges– Simulation of large scale firespred
for forest fire– Very time consuming process
• Solution– Distribute the computation on the
Grid• Benefit
– Expect 10x faster simulation speed– Ability to model much larger
problem within a reasonable time• Part of TNGP/ Hewlett Packard Join
Research Program
The Parallel Simulation Model for Thin Film Deposition Using the DSMC Method
Dr. Rardchawadee SilapuntDr. Tiranee AchalakulKMUTT, Thailand• Thin film deposition process is
used for many manufacturing industries including very large scale integrated circuits, optics, magnetic, hard and corrosion resistant coatings, micro-mechanics.
• Grid system will be used to accelerate the computation and
simulation process • Part of TNGP/ Hewlett
Packard Join Research Program

Grid based data assimilation using RS data
• Dr. Kiyoshi Honda, AIT• Dr. Putchong Uthayopas, THNC• Challenges
– Using GA based data assimilation for agricultural monitoring
– Very long computation time from months to years
– Large amount of RS data needed to be moved around and process
• Solution: – Using Grid to harvest more
computing power– Hide data assimilation process
behind the service using MPI, GridRPC (ninf-g)
• Benefit– Speeding up the calculation

Access Grid
• Access Grid are Being used Regularly to support e-science activities
• Provide access to local conference (NECTEC)
– ANSCSE10, NAC2006• International Link
– SEAGF-MEETING• Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand
– SCGlobal 2005,2004,2003– First APEC Virtual Symposium on
Pandemic Preparedness using Access Grid, January 20, 2006
• Presentation from Medical Organization in many economies: China, Taiwan, USA, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Philippine, and more
More Projects
• There are more projects from– Government Agency
• NECTEC, BIOTEC, MTEC, TMD– Universities
• More information are being collected
Summary• Thailand are moving into more e-science
practice due to– Better computational and grid infrastructure – More software solution– More awareness
• Community building is still critical to success– Building awareness, partnership increasing the
interest• TGCC (Thai Grid Computing Conference
2006) August 29-30 2006– All of you are invited
