HPC Resources in SwiNG Member Institutions are Connected


Some Clusters in SwiNG Member Institutions (MI) 2009

• This is basic infrastructure for Swiss science which will only grow.

• Some of these clusters are interconnected with grid middleware.

• Some of these clusters are connected to international grids.

• Some of these clusters may want to interconnect to a (national) grid in the future.

The MI handle the resultingneeds with SwiNG.

Numbers taken from web sites. May be wrong !


SwiNG WG : The Swiss Multi-Science Computing Grid cms.smscg.ch, giis.smscg.ch

AAA/SWITCH project with 9 participating institutions. Especially the LHC ATLAS experiment and and EPFL project RSA768 have been using remote resources via this grid infrastructure.

Also desktop clusters can be integrated into a national grid infrastructure : SwiNG WG : Campus Grid

The Campus Grid WG serves as an open discussion, coordination, exchange, and standardization forum for ongoing and future projects to build campus-wide grids in Switzerland.

Some central SwiNG activities in 2009

• Annual report 2008 (www.swing-grid.ch - Documents – Publications - Reports). A couple of press releases.

• Boots at EGEE09, SPS09, GPC09, SPEEDUP09

• Talks at GPC09 and AGS09

• Delegated the CH-NGI role towards EGI, i.e. the InSPIRE project, until 2010 to SWITCH-UZH-ETHZ

• In the process to become a NorduGrid member

• Assembly and SAC meetings

• Last but not least: The SGS09


SwiNG WG : Education and Training

• The Swiss Grid School 2009 was arranged in conjunction with GPC09.

• 20 Participants. Several from abroad.

• Tutorials on ARC, gLite, Condor (campus grid)

Next year : SGS’10 in Lugano. June 22 – 23.

SUMMARY

• The SwiNG Member institutions have growing computing needs.

• Reflected in a O(10^5) core infrastructure.

• Many of these resources are interconnected to a interinstitutional and international grids.

• As a result new needs for communication, collaboration, operation and funding rise. SwiNG is here to serve these needs.

• New of the year is the delegation of the NGI-CH to the JRU SWITCH-UZH-ETHZ(CHIPP). Also the SwiNG membership in NorduGrid process.

• SwiNG will need sustained manpower. A model must be in operation in 2012. This process is being started.

First LHC collisions seen in the ATLAS control room:

• Looks like football, but it means some grid work up front .

SwiNG WG : Grid Workflow

The Grid Workflow WG serves as forum for collaboration in the area of grid workflow management research to exploit synergies between existing research groups in the area, and establishes, sustains, and grows the Swiss user community of grid workflows technologies.

Products : JOpera submissions to the SMSCG infrastructure.
