The EGEE Project from South East European Perspective

1. The EGEE Project from South East European Perspective Emanouil Atanassov, Ivan Dimov, Todor Gurov, and Aneta Karaivanova Institute for Parallel Processing - BAS

2. Overview • South East Europe Federation in EGEE • Organization of operations • Resources in SEE Federation • Applications • Challenges NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

3. EGEE Partner Federations All work in EGEE will be carried out by the 70 partners grouped in 12 federations. NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

4. Structure of EGEE operations • Operations Management Centre (OMC): • At CERN – coordination etc • Core Infrastructure Centres (CIC) • Manage daily grid operations – oversight, troubleshooting • Run essential infrastructure services • Provide 2nd level support to ROCs • Regional Operations Centres (ROC) • Act as front-line support for user and operations issues • Provide local knowledge and adaptations • One in each region • User Support Centre (GGUS) NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

5. Participants from SEE federation NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

6. Operations monitoring maps In EGEE/LCG: > 150 sites, 34 countries > 15,000 cpu ~5 PB storage NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

8. SEE ROC activities • Introduce new RCs • Pro-active monitoring of grid services at RC • React and solve problems, reported by users or CIC • Validate new middleware releases • Provide feedback to middleware developers through the pre-production service • Interfaces: Savannah at CERN, GGUS at FZK • Negotiate and deploy new VOs at RC level NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

9. SEE Regional Operations Centre – distributed organizational structure • Central ROC in Greece • Security Contact in Bulgaria • Helpdesk developed by Romania • Core services run at Cyprus, backup core services in Greece and Bulgaria (BDII, RB) • Local customised monitoring from Greece • Regional SEE VO deployed • SEE VO services available - VOMS, myproxy, LFC, etc. • Localized web sites at each country • Stable SEE-GRID sites are also incorporated NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

13. BG EGEE production infrastructure Sites – 4 (3 EGEE, 1 SEE-GRID) CPUs – 45 VOs supported – HEP, BioMed, ESR, magic, regional The table shows the total summed CPU time NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

14. VOs supported at the first BG EGEE site – BG01-IPP • BG01-IPP was the first SEE site to support: • biomed VO – since Nov 2004 • ESR – since Jan 2005 • magic – since Mar 2005. • High Energy Physics support - Alice, Atlas, LHCb, CMS software deployed at the site. • LHCb production jobs since October 2004. • CMS and Atlas jobs running at this moment: NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

15. VOs supported at the first BG EGEE site – BG01-IPP Installed VO software: NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

16. BG application in ESR VO – air pollution prediction • Under development by Tzvetan Ostromsky from IPP • Transition from HPC to Grid computing. Use of MPI NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

17. Challenges before SEE ROC • Security Service Challenges Level 1 – passed by me as BG01-IPP security contact in 2 hours. • I participate in Operational Security Coordination Group. • Biomedical Data Challenge – passed succesfully in July and August. 15 Institutes donated resources for the challenge, among them Institute for Parallel Processing and Institute of Mechanics (http://public.eu-egee.org/news/fullstory.php?news_id=53) • Increase number of users and available resources NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

18. SEE-GRID Contractors • GRNET (Co-ord.) Greece • CERN Switzerland • SZTAKI Hungary • IPP-BAS Bulgaria • ICI Romania • TUBITAK Turkey • INIMA Albania • BIHARNET Bosnia-Herzegovina • UKIM FYROM • UOB Serbia-Montenegro • RBI Croatia NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria

19. SEE-GRID current snapshot • LCG-2 clusters installed in all sites. • 9 SEE-GRID sites – ( with >80 CPUs) in participating countries in the first project year; • Regional SEEGRID VO is supported with 3 Grid apps: • Volumetric Image VisualizationEnvironment (VIVE); • Search Engine forSouth EasternEurope (SE4SEE); • Stochastic ALgorithms for Ultra-fast Transport in sEmiconductors (SALUTE). • EGEE VOs supported - • HEP, biomed. • Significant human capital & tech expertise • emphasis on software development • extend the objective to build additional Grid applications of regional interest NEC 2005 Varna Bulgaria
