1 A very short introduction to Korea@Home Project Supercomputing Center, KISTI Chan Yeol (Connor) Park chan@kisti.re.kr

2 - 2 - Korea@Home Project? Maybe, most of you know SETI@Home Folding@Home Distributed.net And many other distributed computing like them

3 - 3 - Architecture Client/Server Style Partitioning a work into many jobs Data or Computational Intensively Distributing the jobs into available PCs Aggregating back the computing results

4 - 4 - Design Goals For customers with application Easy to use General enough to support a variety of applications Correctness For PC resource providers Transparent not to bother Secure and privacy-guarantee Compensation For Server Scalable Adaptable

5 - 5 - Status in 2002 Construct a platform 4 components of servers Main Control server Authentication server Scheduling and distribution server Database Agent for PCs Experiment on the platform Virtual Screening for New Drug Design

6 - 6 - 2003 and Future Plan Architecture Hybrid P2P For more scalable, data sharing Complementary Studies Fault-tolerance Security More subscribers up to 50,000 New applications Explore compatibilities with GRID Variety of resources

7 - 7 - Virtual Screening Calculating the initial structure of PMI Target Protein Share Analysis Chemical DB A protein CDK2 for cancer 50,000 chemical molecules Server + + Client 1 + + + + Client 2 Client 3 Virtual High-Throughput Screening Internet Calculating ligand PMI Searching for a new drug-candidates Clinical Test Developing new drug Manufacturing Calculating Protein Active Site PMI

8 - 8 - Experiments and Results 4 days in Aug. 2002 1,217 PCs of anonymous volunteers About 2 hours and 40 minutes Performance Peak time 53.5 Gflops / Average 31.78 Gflops 320 hours with one PC of Pentium III 550MHz United Devices (http://www.ud.com) 1.7 million subscribers: 39.1 Tflops Converting the result as 1.7 million subscribers: 46.7 Tflops (current fastest supercomputer NEC Earth Simulator 40.96 Tflops)

9 - 9 - Opportunities in Korea Over 10 million xDSL users Advanced Network Infrastructure More rapid cycle of purchasing new PCs
