1. GRID technology by SZTAKI MTA SZTAKI Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems www.lpds.sztaki.hu

2. Collaborative Grid systems Goal: Solving very complex problems that require the collaboration of –various fields of science –various (even geographically distributed) institutions Demo example: –Nowcast: weather forecast for ultra-short time period (30 min) –Collaborative partners: OMSZ (Országos Meterológiai Szolgálat) MTA SZTAKI

3.  Goal: Analysis of all the available meteorology information  producing parameters on a regular mesh (10km- >1km)  ultra-short forecast  Application: Forecasting dangerous weather situations (storms, fog, etc.)  METEOROLOGY INFORMATION: surface level measurements, high-altitude measurements, radar, satellite, lightning, results of previous computed models, etc.  BASIC PARAMETERS: pressure, temperature, humidity, wind  DERIVED PARAMETERS: type of clouds, visibility, etc. MEANDER Nowcast Program Package

4. Structure of MEANDER First guess data ALADIN SYNOP data SateliteRadar CANARI Delta analysis Basic fields: pressure, temperature, humidity, wind. Derived fields: Type of clouds, visibility, etc. GRID Rada r to grid Satelit e to grid Current time Type of clouds Overcast Visibilit y Rainfall state Visualization For meteorologist s:HAWK For users: GIF Lightning decode

5. SZTAKI Grid Solution: TotalGrid The TotalGrid system integrates the different software layers of a Grid (see next slide) and provides for companies –exploitation of free cycles of desktop machines in a Grid environment after the working hours –achieving supercomputer capacity using the actual desktops of the company without further investments –Development and test of Grid programs
