EU-IndiaGrid2 (RI ) Framework Programme 7 ( ) Research infrastructures projects e-Infrastructures across Europe and India The Indian National Grid: the Need and the Purpose by Dr. R. Chidambaran Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India The EU-IndiaGrid project is playing a key role in fostering the cooperation between the GARUDA and regional WLCG Projects and EGEE, the major European Grid Initiative, and has achieved significant progress so far This “bridging” role between European and Indian grid infrastructure has now the opportunity to improve, thanks to the recently approved plan for a multi- gigabit, low latency, e-Infrastructure: National Knowledge Network (NKN). The NKN project will represent a major step forward setting up the layer for an ICT- based infrastructure interconnecting the major laboratories and research centers across India.

EU-IndiaGrid2 (RI ) Framework Programme 7 ( ) Research infrastructures projects The National Knowledge Network Project The objective of the National Knowledge Network is to bring together all the stakeholders in Science, Technology, Higher Education, Research and Development, GRID Computing, governance with speeds scalable eventually up to the order of 10s of gigabits per second coupled with extremely low latencies. NKN will interconnect all the research, higher education and scientific institutions in the country, over a period of three years. The joint proposal for the establishment of NKN was initiated by the PSA’s Office and the National Knowledge Commission and then taken up by the Department of IT.

EU-IndiaGrid2 (RI ) Framework Programme 7 ( ) Research infrastructures projects Completed Activities Configured Gridway to fetch the dynamic information simultaneously from Site level BDII (g9.ctsf.cdac.org.in), of EGEE resources and MDS4 based IS of Garuda test bed. The IM_MAD for BDII was fixed to correctly recognize the, percentage of free CPUs and free node count (CPU_FREE) available per queue (QUEUE_NODECOUNT). A Test job was successfully submitted to the g9(glite ce) from a Garuda resource. More at OGF30 next month
