EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 3 Applications 9 applications from 4 different disciplines, 3 countries involved: Italy, UK and India The selected disciplines (applications) are: –HEP (ALICE and CMS) –Biology (MOOSE: Multiscale Object Oriented Simulation Environment ) –Material Science (RSDF for quantum dots, VASP, Quantum/Espresso, BEM/Gromacs) –Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (RegCM3, ROMS) They were selected before the start of the project, based on already established collaboration between European and Indian researchers

EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 4 New Applications Building an eScience Network Community is one of the main goal of the project –A DB with > 450 registered members from > 300 institutions interested to EU-IndiaGrid has been populated The strategy to attract new applications, sites, communities consisted in organising targeted events The first was the Bangalore Workshop in Apr.07: –40 representatives of several Indian institutions were invited to present their applications (pre-selected with questionnaires) –New applications selected: Seismic modelling  code ported at Pune Workshop (last week) Electronic structures Vibration control using smart structures

EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 6 Cross Project Communities Identification First results of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Applications presented at OGF20/EGEE User Forum, May 2007 Applications Requirements and 1 st Integration Reports delivered timely (Feb.07 and Jul.07) and publicly available Being INFN part of EELA, EUMEDGRID and EUChinaGRID, close collaboration already in place, in particular for coordinated dissemination activity (EGEE06, G8-Unesco Forum, BELIEF- EELA, IUGG, EGEE07, SC07…) Special focus on grid interoperability with Asia (joint workshops with EUChinaGRID at EGEE07, WLCG-EUIndiaGrid wks. at Taiwan, and IGIIW at eScience07 in Bangalore)

EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 7 Application Selection Criteria Applications areas were selected on the basis of consolidated scientific collaboration between European and Indian partners: –INFN - BARC+TIFR of Mumbai + SINP/VECC of Kolkata for HEP –University of Cambridge - TIFR/NCBS of Bangalore for Biology –ICTP/SISSA CM Group - University of Pune for Material Sciences –ICTP/Climate Group - CDAC-Pune/CAS Group for Earth Atmospheric Sciences Specific applications within the above areas were selected according to: –Most demanding in terms of producing and processing large quantities of data –Challenging to grid-enable due their intrinsic structure (e.g. tightly coupled parallelism, large I/O requirements) –Being of particular interest in the Indian region (e.g. Monsoons studies)

EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 8 Gridification guides Quick gLite HOW-TO for EU-IndiaGrid users: –How to get personal certificates, register to euindia VO, download and use UIPnP, simple glite-* commands, references to gLite official Users Guides and API documentation Quick gLite Middleware Deployment HOW-TO for EU-IndiaGrid: –How to deploy main gLite services (CE, SE, UI) at your sites, enable them for euindia VO, be included in the EU-IndiaGrid pilot infrastructure Material of training courses held at project workshops Wiki pages for each application area Reserve_smp_nodes utility ( to overcome MPI difficulties )

EU-IndiaGrid (RI ) is funded by the European Commission under the Research Infrastructure Programme 9 VO Resource Allocation Policies The euindia VO is used for all applications but Alice and CMS, that use their own VO –at this stage no particular use of groups and roles –20 euindia VO users by now (11 Europeans and 9 Indians) 14 resource centres available with gLite –11 European and 3 Indians, 12 (10+2) shared with the EGEE production infrastructure –supporting at least alice, cms and euindia VOs We plan by the end of the project to have included all other Indian partner’s sites (C-DAC, Univ.of Pune, BARC, NCBS, MIT) Inclusion of some GARUDA resources expected after a minimal interoperability is achieved  see infrastructure session
