3. Business Experiments in GRID 3 BE context  Aim: Provide new compute intensive radiotherapy tools to hospitals remotely  Why:  Hospitals demands tools based on Monte Carlo techniques  BUT demand a lot of computing resources  Hospitals do not have computing and human resources  External computing resources are needed. BASIC INFORMATION: Sector: Health GRID MW: Globus/glite Duration: 12 months Start date: 01/03/2008 Budget: € 209.927 Funding: € 209.927 BASIC INFORMATION: Sector: Health GRID MW: Globus/glite Duration: 12 months Start date: 01/03/2008 Budget: € 209.927 Funding: € 209.927

4. Business Experiments in GRID 4 Objectives  Development of an exploitation plan to provide the service at European level (DONE)  Integration and evaluation of common BEinGRID components that are related to SLAs and security. (DONE)  SLA Negotiation integrated with GridWay  Axiomatics and Vordel security solutions  Adapting the existing solution to BEinGRID tools and integration of the GridWay product with SLAs. (DONE)  Validation of the solution with a representative population of end users. (Partially successful)

5. Business Experiments in GRID 5 Success Criteria ObjectiveSituation beforeGrid solutionSuccess 4.25– SC1A new treatment needs several hours or days. New treatment plan in 32 minutes. However, the solutions still are not satisfactory => No experiment 25% 4.25 – SC2Few treatments checked by technicians using hours or days for each treatment The system produces many solutions in minutes. However, they are not completely satisfactory yet 50% 4.25 – SC3.Using local clusters for computation GridWay and DRMAA has been integrated. Now we can submit to local cluster and grids transparently. 100% 4.25 – SC4Verification needs from hours to days 4 hours with 70 Nodes100% 4.25 – SC5Security is not integrated from end-to-end Vordel PEP has been integrated. Axiomatics PDP has been configured to be integrated with PEP. 100% 4.25 – SC6No SLAsSLAs has been integrated to add computing resources dynamically. Portal administrator done 100%

6. Business Experiments in GRID 6 Success Criteria  Verification Success Criteria (SC4):  Execution Time < 5 hours. → SUCCESS  Execution Time < 3 hours. → in progress  Optimization Success Criteria (SC1,SC2):  Execution time < 2 hours. → SUCCESS  Execution time < 5 minutes. → It is not possible at this moment.  Validate benefits of using SLA Negotiation (SC6). → SUCCESS  Execution time decreased using SLA Negotiation

7. Business Experiments in GRID 7 Progress – Milestones  D.4.25.1/CP3: WP3.25 Design document  D.4.25.2/CP4: Mid-of development report  ID.4.25.4/CP5: End of integration report  D.4.25.3/CP7: result of business exploitation  ID.4.25.5/CP6:Technical result report  D.4.25.4/CP0: Management  D.4.25.5/CP7: Activity 2 New plan < 2Hours Many checked solutions GridWay integration < 5 hours for verification Security integration Effort138% Cost72%

8. Business Experiments in GRID 8 Conclusion  GRID is fully integrated in the solution.  The main success criteria have been achieved.  The deliverables have been submitted.  We need still time and effort to finalize the platform, mainly in the optimization.  The final product is valuable for the hospitals “e-IMRT platform will provide us additional information that will allow us to improve radiotherapy treatments’ quality at an affordable cost“ Miguel Pombar, Medical Physics Dep.
