Domain application Grid • Introducing Cloud Computing concept into CNGrid • CNGrid—as IaaS and partially PaaS • Domain application Grids—as SaaS and partially PaaS • Taking advantages of aggregating distributed heterogeneous resources by Gird and of applying the business model of cloud computing • Prototype domain application Grids • Simulation and optimization • automobile industry • aircraft design • steel industry • Scientific computing • Bio-information application • computational chemistry
Domain application Grid (cont’d) • Using CNGrid as virtual resources which can be dynamically requested and allocated • End users obtain resources and services via domain application grids • Business model defined between CNGrid and domain application grids • Accounting • Billing policies • Promote usage of CNGrid • Exploring sustainable development of CNGrid
Domain applications (Grid) • Drug Discovery • Weather forecasting • Scientific data Grid and its application in research • Water resource Information system • Grid-enabled railway freight Information system • Grid for Chinese medicine database applications • HPC and Grid for Aerospace Industry (AviGrid) • National forestry project planning, monitoring and evaluation
Status of e-Infrastructure • Still far behind in many aspects • Especially weak in applications • Need multi-disciplinary research • Shortage in cross-disciplinary talents • Sustainable development is crucial • Lack of regular budget for e-Infrastructure • Always competing funding with other disciplines
The 12th 5-year plan • China’s high-tech program has identified priority topics in both HPC and cloud computing • A key project on cloud computing has been launched • “Key technologies and systems of cloud computing (1st phase) • Network operating systems • Network search engines • Network based language translation • Cloud system management • Prototype cloud systems
The 12th 5-year plan (cont’d) • A new key project on “high productivity computer and application service environment” launched (2011-2015) • Emphasis on balanced development on high productivity computers, application environment, and HPC applications
Cooperation with EU and US • EU FP6/FP7 • EUChinaGRID • EchoGRID • Bridge • Chain • EPIKH • Chain-Read • US • Cooperation with the Condor team • China-US cooperation on software (to be initiated) • Extreme scale software • Emerging software architechtures • Trustworthy software
Interests on international testbed • Experiments and evaluation on new technologies • Coordinating research efforts and exchangingR&D experiences • Joint development on some topics with common interests
Issues to be addressed • Interoperability of existing software and development of new software for testbed • Cost/Funding • Network bandwidth
