1. 1 IDGF International Desktop Grid Federation How can you benefit from joining IDGF? Lyon, 23.09.2011 Peter Kacsuk, MTA SZTAKI, kacsuk@sztaki.hu EDGI is supported by the FP7 Capacities Programme under contract nr RI-261556.

2. 2 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 2 Benefit for new volunteer BOINC systems  It takes several years until a new volunteer BOINC system can collect substantial number of resources  IDGF will give access to the large set of SG VO resources that were created in the EDGeS and later in the DEGISCO project  It contains over 2000 computers

4. 4 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 4 Examples of volunteer BOINC systems supported by the DEGISCO business model  SLinCA@home (Ukraina)  Yoyo@home (Germany)  IberCivis (Spain and Portugal)  CAS@home (China)  Optima@home (Russia)  Poem@home (Germany)  Univ. of Westminster Campus Grid (UK)

5. 5 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 5 Yoyo@home (over 1 TFlop/s)

7. 7 7 Attracting more participants for volunteer desktop grids  EDGI introduces a new architecture where desktop grids (BOINC, XtremWeb) can be extended with cloud resources for QoS  However, in order to get cloud resources the user needs credits  In order to collect credit either the user or her organization should provide resources for volunteer DGs belonging to IDGF  If you joined to IDGF those who would like to earn more credit for cloud resources will support your DG system

8. 8 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 8 Benefits for those who would like to build a campus grid  There are several technologies (BOINC, Condor, OurGrid, XtremWeb, etc.) to build a campus grid  IDGF provides forum to – discuss and compare these technologies – make them popular to the scientific communities – elaborate the interconnection methods of campus grids built on these technologies  IDGF provides support to build the campus grid – Technology selection support – Installation, configuration and testing support – User interface (e.g. portal) provision support – Application porting support

9. 9 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 9 Benefits for those who would like to port applications to DG systems  Porting applications to volunteer DG is not easy  IDGF members have expertise in this field and can provide support for newcomers – Application porting technology selection support – Providing best practice case studies of application porting – Assistance in porting an application

14. 14 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 14 Benefits for those who would like to extend SG VO with DG  The EDGI business model and architecture is a good example how to extend a SG VO with DGs  Small SG VOs can get additional resources for parameter sweep (PS) applications  IDGF members have expertise in this field  IDGF provides support to extend a SG VO with DGs – Technology selection support – Installation, configuration and testing support – User interface (e.g. portal) provision support – Application porting support

15. 15 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 15 Balanced usage of SG and DG systems within a country  With the technology provided by EDGI and DEGISCO processing load can be transferred towards the less loaded systems – Overloaded SGs can transfer jobs to DGs – Overloaded DGs can transfer WUs to SGs

16. 16 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 16 Benefit for technology and application developer organizations of the European Chapter  IDGF will investigate the possibility of participating in FP7 and FP8 EU projects  If this is possible, to take IDGF as partner in EU projects will be attractive since IDGF will represent a large community (see the HealthGrid experience)  Then the work allocated for IDGF in these projects would be distributed among the member organizations of the European Chapter

17. 17 EDGI NA2 13/12/2015 17 Conclusions  Joining IDGF is worth for both SG and DG community members  DG community members can extend their DG with SG resources  SG community members can extend their SG VO with DG resources  Both communities can get application porting support  IDGF can significantly impact the community and can attract additional financial resources
