Research Infrastructures Information Day Brussels, March 25, 2003 Victor Alessandrini IDRIS - CNRS

Build a European Grid infrastructure that gives users a seamless, secure access to High Performance Computing resources and that advances computational science in Europe EUROGRID Vision

EUROGRID Goals European HPC centers build and run a GRID testbed –Seamless access to HPC resources –Multi-site jobs Interfaces for important applications –Bio-/Chemical –Meteo –CAE Industrial applications and GRID usage scenarios –ASP services for engineers –Intranet solutions for distributed organizations Development of new GRID middleware –E.g. resource broker, efficient data transfer,... Contribute to Global GRID development

UNICORE Architecture Cray NQEIBM LL UNICORE TSI UNICORE Network Job Supervisor UNICORE Gateway UNICORE Clients User’s Laptop UNICORE TSI UNICORE Network Job Supervisor UNICORE Gateway NEC NJS UNICORE Site B Command or Routine I/F Secure Intranet Insecure Internet UNICORE Site A Virtual Site

Bio–GRID Develop interfaces to existing biological and chemical codes Operate a GRID for biomolecular simulations

Meteo–GRID Develop a relocatable version of local weather prediction model ASP solution for on demand localized weather prediction

Meteo–Grid Ubiquitous access to local weather prediction software, developed at DWD and CSCS WAN DWD EUROGRID center Client workstation (somewhere) Global model Databases Request prediction Request global data Send global data Compute prediction Send results

CAE–GRID Coupled simulations of aircrafts (e.g. structure and electromagnetism) Goal: internal HPC portal for EADS engineers

CAE–GRID T-Systems (Debis Systemhaus) operates Provide HPC portal to engineers at Daimler– Chrysler and partners Develop GRID technology for computing cost estimates and billing

HPC–GRID HPC centers agree on authentification policy HPC centers provide HPC platforms –First phase: Dedicated test systems –Later: Production systems Variety of platforms and batch subsystems: –IBM SP –NEC SX –Cray T3E –SGI O2K, O3K –Intel-/Linux-cluster –Alpha-/Linux-cluster –… FZJ

EUROGRID Technology Based on UNICORE system (currently V3.5) Develop additional GRID components –efficient data transfer –ASP infrastructure –resource broker –application coupling –interactive access
