The project outline • Activities and status • Network planning • IPv6 compliance • Infrastructure & operations • gLite – GOS interoperability study • Applications • Dissemination • Summary & conclusions Outline

EUChinaGRID is a Specific Support Action (SSA) • The project started on the 1 January 2006. • 24 Months duration. • 10 partners (6 from EU and 4 from China). • Project budget 1,327,998 €. • A total of 495 Person Months (325 Funded). Project Information

Participants

Train users and site administrators to use and operate an e-Infrastructure Disseminate, both “bottom-up” and “top- down”, the e-Infrastruc- ture paradigm for long term sustainability of e-Science Attract new communities in learning, testing and using pilot infrastructure Set-up and manage a Pilot Infrastructure EUChinaGRID at a glance

Support the Interconnection and Interoperability of Grids between Europe and China. • Main focus is on two specific infrastructures: • CNGRID in China • EGEE in Europe • Dissemination of advanced knowledge in Grid technology is also an important part of the activity. • Strengthening the collaboration between scientific groups in both regions, supporting existing and new Grid applications. EUChinaGRID Main Objectives

The “global” network

The “global” grid

The project • Activities and status • Network planning • IPv6 compliance • Infrastructure & operations • gLite – GOS interoperability study • Applications • Dissemination • Summary & conclusions

A deliverable was produced Status and perspectives of network connectivity to Asia It describes the state of the art and the perspectives of network connectivity between Europe and Asia. • Partners are using both CERNET, directly connected to TEIN2/ORIENT, and CSTNET, the two main Research Networks in China. • EUChinaGRID is developing synergies with ORIENT/TEIN2 projects to improve the connectivity between China and Europe Network planning

TEIN2 and ORIENT connectivity upgrade 2.5Gbps

Investigated the compliance of gLite and GOS middleware • Implemented a tool to check the code • Produced a guideline for developers • Developed a useful collaboration with ETICS • Gabriella Paolini will report later today on this same argument in the session Grid Middleware & Interoperability III IPv6 compliance

Completed D3.1 and D3.2 • We set up the CA infrastructure reaching the goal of interoperable certificates on the pilot grid • CNIC Grid CA (http://ca.grid.cn/en) • Scientific DataGrid CA (http://ca.sdg.grid.cn/en) • Accredited by Asian-Pacific Grid Policy Management Authority Authorization and security

Installed, configured and currently maintained: Infrastructure Services

Regional Operations Center: http://roc.euchinagrid.org • Any kind of information about EUChinaGrid infrastructure • Starting point for operations activity • Links to all useful EUChinaGrid monitoring pages • Documentation for users and sites ROC website

Monitoring tools BEIJING - PKU

Address: http://support.euchinagrid.org • Powerful and flexible tool • Successfully used for operation activity on the EUChinaGrid pilot infrastructure • Preliminary shifts done to improve grid availability Ticketing System

We have achieved basic batch job submission between GOS (CNGrid) and gLite (EGEE) • Studied and implemented plug-in to extend GOS batch service • Studied the extension to allow CE to forward batch jobs to GOS • Set up pilot testbed for interoperability test • Submission of batch jobs from GOS to GLite works by now • Simple batch job with “simple” data transfers • Large data transfers foreseen for this year • Resource information of GOS can be published on BDII • Extending LCG Job Manager to submit batch job to GOS feasible CNGrid and EGEE interoperability

Pipeline-based gateway Scheduler Idle thread pool used in scheduler Thread Pool Extended GOS forwards batch job to gateway batch job batch job WMProxy GOS Pipeline for GOS to GLite batch job Extended LCG-CE forwards batch jobs to gateway batch job Extended LCG-CE GOS Pipeline for GLite to GOS Thread Pool Different colors in pipeline stand for different stages (StageIn, StageOut, … ) Each pipeline has corresponding thread pool and scheduler Scheduler Scheduler executes stage in pipeline using idle thread from thread pool

The virtuous cycle of dissemination Dissemination of advanced knowledge Provides potential users with grid expertise JOINING TRAINING Wider dissemination Raises grid awareness and attracts new potential users Promoting new communities New users can now use and deploy their applications and act as a dissemiation vehicle at a National level DISSEMINATING

4 International Meetings, Workshops and Conferences organized • 210 overall attendees • 16 external events with EUChinaGRID presence • Dissemination and training materials produced • >150 web pages • 4 leaflets • 3 press releases • 5 tutorial events held • 231 overall trained people • 46 press cuttings collected in 9 different languages (including Chinese, English and Spanish) and 3 continents • 48 questionnaires received from new potential users’ communities Some numbers

To get a picture of new user communities adopting distributed and grid computing, in order to support their collaboration with EUChinaGRID activities. • Published on the website (in English and Chinese): • http://www.euchinagrid.eu/new_communities_form.php • http://www.euchinagrid.cn/questionnaire.php • Advertised by partners in their communities. Survey on new communities

Beijing April 24 — 25 • Jointly with EchoGRID • http://echogrid.ercim.org/content/view/11/18/ 2nd EUChinaGRID Conference Networking EU & Chinese Grid Experiences for Innovation

The project just passed the first annual review • Very noticeable technical results • Great progresses towards developing a human network collaborating to the creation of a common grid infrastructure for e-Science between Europe and China. • The activities foreseen for this second year will further improve the results obtained so far, both from the technical and human networking point of view.
