  1. Progress of the Estonian Grid Ilja Livenson& Andi Hektor on behalf of the Estonian Grid NGN Workshop in St Petersburg May 18-20, 2005

  2. Some last events of the EG • Okt 04: EG technical support group publishes the first article about the first scientific results produced with the EG • Dec 04: the Ministry of Education and Research assembles the committee of the Estonian Grid(EENet, NICPB, TUT, UT) • Jan 05: NGN meeting in Tallinn • March 05: the BalticGrid proposal to the FP6 in Brussels • April 05: establishment of the BalticGrid CA and RAs (Riga, Tallinn, Tartu, Vilnius) • May 05: first positive news from Brussels about the BG • May 05: EUGridPMA meeting in Tallinn, May 25-27 • June 05: the Estonian Tier2 proposal to the Estonian government

  3. Technical situation of the EG • Choice of middlewareNorduGrid ARC under testing: UNICORE and LCG2 • Number and type of CPUs max 122 CPUs Pentium4 2.2…3.0 GHz and AMD64 • Storage capacity 3.5 TB in three SEs • Technical plans for the end of 2005 - 200 CPUs - 15-20 TB storage, 5 SEs - stabilisation of the hardware resources

  4. Technical support for the EG users • Technical support and coordination group, 6 persons at the different institutions • Support lists - grid-tech@lists.eenet.ee - grid-users@lists.eenet.ee • Web: http://grid.eenet.ee • Monitor: http://giis.eenet.ee/monitor/ • User certificates: ~100 certificates published by EG CA ~700 000 ID-card certificates! 

  5. Main user groups • Estonian CERN CMS group, NICPB Porting CMS software to NorduGrid CERN Tier 2 plans http://www.nicpb.ee/centre • Lab of Grid technology, Tartu Univ. DOUG software Commercial applications • Theoretical chemistry, Tartu Univ.UNICORE, OpenMolGrid http://www.openmolgrid.org • Inst. of Cybernetics, Tallinn Tech. Univ. Environmental science Hardware systems • Commercial: Egeen AS (bioinformatics),AS Microlink (hardware, storage)

  6. Training and courses • Workshops - NGN tutorial, Jan 19, 2005 • Academic courses - IT College, Tallinn, Autumn 2004, ~30 students - Tartu Univ., Tartu, Spring 2005, ~50 students • Web materials - http://grid.eenet.ee/ - http://www.nicpb.ee/~mario/grid/itk/ - http://math.ut.ee/~eero/GTLA/ - http://www.nicpb.ee/~andi/
