3. Why should my University facilitate (or drive) resource sharing? Because researchers with federally funded clusters can’t wait to meet you and your Grid middleware? Because it’s the right thing to do –Enables new modalities of collaboration –Enables new levels of scale –Democratizes large scale computing –Sharing locally leads to sharing globally –Better overall resource utilization –Funding agencies At the heart of the cyberinfrastructure vision is the development of a cultural community that supports peer-to- peer collaboration and new modes of education based upon broad and open access to leadership computing; data and information resources; online instruments and observatories; and visualization and collaboration services. - Arden Bement CI Vision for 21 st Century introduction At the heart of the cyberinfrastructure vision is the development of a cultural community that supports peer-to- peer collaboration and new modes of education based upon broad and open access to leadership computing; data and information resources; online instruments and observatories; and visualization and collaboration services. - Arden Bement CI Vision for 21 st Century introduction

4. Clemson Campus Condor Pool Machines in 27 different locations on Campus ~1,700 job slots >1.8M hours served in 6 months users from Industrial and Chemical engineering, and Economics Fast ramp up of usage Accessible to the OSG through a gateway

5. 6,400 CPUs available Campus Condor pool backfills idle nodes in PBS clusters - provided 5.5 million CPU- hours in 2006, all from idle nodes in clusters Use on TeraGrid: 2.4 million hours in 2006 spent Building a database of hypothetical zeolite structures; 2007: 5.5 million hours allocated to TG http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/PCW2007/presentations/cheeseman_Purdue_Condor_Week_2007.ppt

6. The Open Science Grid OSG is a consortium of software, service and resource providers and researchers, from universities, national laboratories and computing centers across the U.S., who together build and operate the OSG project. The project is funded by the NSF and DOE, and provides staff for managing various aspects of the OSG. Brings petascale computing and storage resources into a uniform grid computing environment Integrates computing and storage resources from over 50 sites in the U.S. and beyond A framework for large scale distributed resource sharing addressing the technology, policy, and social requirements of sharing

Principal Science Drivers High energy and nuclear physics –100s of petabytes (LHC)2007 –Several petabytes2005 LIGO (gravity wave search) –0.5 - several petabytes2002 Digital astronomy –10s of petabytes2009 –10s of terabytes2001 Other sciences emerging –Bioinformatics (10s of petabytes) –Nanoscience –Environmental –Chemistry –Applied mathematics –Materials Science

8. Virtual Organizations (VOs) The OSG Infrastructure trades in Groups not Individuals VO Management services allow registration, administration and control of members of the group. Facilities trust and authorize VOs. Storage and Compute Services prioritize according to VO group.

10. “What impressed me most was how quickly we were able to access the grid and start using it. We learned about it at RENCI, and we were running jobs about two weeks later,” says Kuhlman. For each protein we design, we consume about 3,000 CPU hours across 10,000 jobs,” says Kuhlman. “Adding in the structure and atom design process, we’ve consumed about 100,000 CPU hours in total so far.” Designing proteins in the Kuhlman Lab

12. What can we do together? OSG is looking for a few partners to help deploy campus wide grid infrastructure that integrates with local enterprise infrastructure and the national CI RENCI’s OSG team is available to help scientists get their applications running on OSG –low impact starting point –Help your researchers gain significant compute cycles while exploring OSG as a framework for your own campus CI mailto: osg@renci.org
