Grid@Asia Workshop, Beijing, 21-23 June 2005

Flexible control and sharing of distributed resources

Promoting a new model of ICT infrastructures

Developer view: abstraction, effective service creation

Infrastructure-provider view: Integration, pervasive virtual organisations, streamlining and longer-term protection of investment

End-user view: “unlimited” access to ICT-resources distributed world-wide, simplification

Resources can be distributed world-wide

EGEE

production quality grid, 20000 CPUs, ~5PB storage, training, 27 countries, 71 partners, HEP, Biomed..., int. links (€32 M - CERN)

GÉANTPan-European Research Network, IPv6 enabled(93 M€ - DANTE)

DEISA

grid of 6 supercomputers networked at 1 Gbps, focus on global filing systems,>40 Tflop/s, several user communit.

(€15M - CNRS) .

Pan-European Grid infrastructure EGEE

EGEE, led by CERN: capacity of over 20.000 CPU's, 5 PB of storage, federating 71

centers/27 countries mission critical for very demanding research communities (e.g.

High Energy Physics, biomedics) / operational support to users research in security, AAA and middleware aspects structuring effect / largest international Grid infrastructure

SEE-GRID, led by GRNet, expands EGEE to South Eastern Europe

The EGEE project

Grid of supercomputers DEISA

DEISA, led by CNRS: six major supercomputing centers / > 40 teraflops focus on Global Filing System distributed tera-scale supercomputing facility gigabit interconnection Serving user communities such as material sciences,

plasma physics, cosmology, life science, etc…

2005 calls on e Infrastructure and RN Testbeds

Year 2006Year 2006Year 2005Year 2005

Research Networking Test-beds • Optical, Wireless, Security, Grids, other technologies.• Real world settings / user involvement• Technology & services interoperability / open source• ‘Open’ test-bed infrastructure • Roadmaps, strategic guidance for eInfrastructure

eInfrastructure – Grids initiatives Continue building advanced Grid-empowered infrastructuresEmphasis on:• Production quality & ready-to-use • SW-infrastructures• Address industry requirements• Environments dynamically adaptable to user needs

Grid Infrastructures

Direct Connectivity

Putting these enabling infrastructures in place in the coming months will allow scientific communities like astronomers, high-energy physicists, advanced networking technologies and Grid research to strongly benefit from these new and re-enforced EU-China linking.

EU-China co-operation on e Infrastructures

Providing direct Gigabit per second connectivity between GÉANT2 and China (CERNET and CSTNET)

ORIENT

Interconnect the Grid infrastructure (EGEE, DEISA, etc.) in Europe and China (CNGrid) for the benefit of eScience applications. Facilitate exchange and processing of scientific data with a pilot project that interconnects the Grid Infrastructures in Europe and in China.
