Total budget 1M €for two years
Examples on Nordic and EU GRID projects with Nordic participation
Scandinavian Grid cooperationNordic Grid Consortium - NGC – Laboratory for Grid middleware and application development
NorduGrid - Nordic testbed for wide area computing and data handling
FP5 Projects
DataGrid - The project aims to enable access to geographically distributed computing power and storage facilities. CSC collaborates with HIP, Helsinki Institute of Physics (EU)
ENACTS- European Network for Advanced Computing Technology for Science (EU)
New EU FP6 initiatives
DEISA - Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications
EGEE - Enabling Grids for E-Science and industry in Europe
REALISTE - Realistic Modelling in Environmental And Life Sciences Through Escience
BIGGER - BioInformatics and Genomics Grid for European Research GrATe - Grid Access Technologies
GARDEN – Creating high band width network infrastructure in Europe
GRID in SWEDEN
• for generic development of GRID technology in Sweden,
• for GRID calculations in broad range of scientific and technological applications in Sweden
• for participation in Nordic, European and World wide GRID development work.
Proposal and fund request for a Swedish Data GRID Test Bed to
Knut och Alice Wallenberg Foundation Swedish Research Council
Program for the Seminar on SweGrid for e-SciencePlace: Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala, Polhemssalen Time: Wednesday 9 April 2003 10.00-17.00 hrs
GRID applications in different research fields 1. Biomedical Sciences 2. Earth Sciences 3. Space and Astro Sciences4. High Energy Physics

GRID in DENMARK
Denmark
Two collaborating Grid projects• Danish Centre for Scientific Computing
– DCSC-Grid will span the four DCSC sites and thus unify the resources within DCSC
• Danish Centre for Grid Computing sponsored by the Danish Natural Science Research Council– Seeks to become the national Grid project– DCSC Grid will be a partner in DCGC– Implementation is based on the NorduGrid tool kit
Resources Denmark
• Grid computing: 2003: 200K dkk– Application for 7.5M dkk for three years
granted by the research council – Supercomputing: 16M dkk/year– Supercomputing centres will be connected to a
SC-GRID
GRID in NORWAY
Norway
• NOTUR Emerging Technologies on Grid Computing is the main mover– Oslo-Bergen “mini-Grid” in place– Trondheim and Tromsø should be joining– The end of the NOTUR program makes the
Grid future uncertain
Resources Norway
• Grid computing: 2003: 1M NOK
• Supercomputing: 22M NOK/year– Plus app. 22M NOK/year from other sources
GRID in FINLAND
Grid in Finland
CSC plays a major role in the national Grid activities and participates in building European and national Grid infrastructure. CSC works in close co-operation with supercomputing centres worldwide and successfully applies the Grid technology to a number of national and regional projects.
Current Grid activities at CSC
CSC Scientist's User Interface - CSC's extranet service for researchers
HAKA - Towards cross-organisational user administration in Finnish higher education
ENACTS, DataGrid, EGEE, BIGGER, REALISTE, DEISA
Resources Finland
• Grid computing: app 1M Euro– Only for testing purposes
• Supercomputing: 8 M Euro
NorduGrid Project Overview
• Started in spring of 2001, with the aim of creating a Grid infrastructure in the Nordic countries
• Partners from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland
• Initially meant only to be the Nordic branch of the EU DataGrid (EDG) Testbed
• Currently relies on very limited human resources (5 full-time researchers, few part-time ones)
NorduGrid components
1. Use Globus components to build a working Grid2. Globus RPM distribution based on Globus 2.0 for RedHat
7.2– Has also been verified on Slackware and Mandrake– Can also use existing Globus installation
3. Use existing MDS with improved schema4. Use GridFTP protocol with servers and clients built into
applications5. Use existing Replica Catalog to manage data6. Replace most of Globus Resource management Grid
Manager7. Rewrite User Interface with broker added
