Presentation Transcript

  1. EGEE statement applications • EU and EU member states major investment in Grid Technology • Several good prototype results • Next Step: • Leverage current and planned national programmes • work closely with relevant industrial Grid developers and NRNs • build on existing middeware and expertise • create a general European Grid production quality infrastructure • This can be achieved for a minimum of €100m/4 years on top of the national and regional initiatives EGEE network

  2. Projects features • Integration of existing national and regional initiatives • International cooperation (including US and AP) • Standards (through GGF) • Actors: Grid developers for academia and industry • Tackle the challenge of usability, scalability, cost/performance • Service models for fast uptake by industry • Must provide supercomputing performance at commodity cost • Support for training, usage, large scale applications etc

  3. Towards UKHEP Engagement in Framework 6 • See discussion document • 29/10/02 CB outline approval • 5/11/02 EGEE core task force • Dec 02 EU Call • Jan 03 GridPP Tier-2 tenders • Jan/Feb 03 PPARC Call for Tier-1 Centre • Mar/Apr 03 EGEE Proposal submission • ** Tier-1 and Tier-2 Centres not yet defined (work with prototypes)** • Sep 03 Tier-2 funding starts… • Dec 03 DataGrid funding ends • ~Jan 04 DataGrid’ as part of EGEE?

  4. Towards UKHEP Engagement in Framework 6 • Objectives • Obtain EU funding to develop the UK part of a pan-European infrastructure • Access to core middleware developed in Europe • Benefit from European “critical mass” on EU external matters • Leverage access to non-HEP resources (and share some UK resources) • Obtain leverage on domestic funding (this was particularly useful at the time of DataGrid) • Increase coherence with UK core e-Science through joint activity in EGEE

  5. Towards UKHEP Engagement in Framework 6 • Areas of Interest • Production quality Grid resources (24x7x52 etc.) • Grid operations; maintenance and upgrades/rollout • Middleware support • Focused M/W development activities – oriented towards production grid support – potential overlaps with other proposals (?)

  6. UK Position within EGEE? • Starting point: DataGrid Success.. • Mainly middleware (15 PPARC-funded + 5 EU-funded + 6 EPSRC/PPARC Computing Science posts) • New: focus on production grids • Need to assess UK priorities • Input/Negotiations: • Neil Geddes (UK-EU role beyond PPARC) • Robin Middleton (EU DataGrid-UK, DataGrid PMB) • Tony Doyle (GridPP Project Leader, DataGrid PMB) • Pete Clarke (Networking, DataTAG, DataGrid PTB) • Preliminary PMB discussions…

  7. PMB Preliminary Discussions.. • Post Requirements – Scenario for Discussion: • Area EGEE? Total Ref. • Tier-1/A ~4 ~16 PMB-11 • Tier-2 ~4 ~16 PMB-08 • Middleware ~4 ~20 • = PMB Prioritised List – recommendation to CB: • Considerations: • LHC computing UK leading role in 2004 • S Tier-2 ~ Tier-1 • Transition from Prototype to Production Deployment • Particle physics leading role in UK e-Science • EU-wide middleware development • Build upon UK PP strengths

  8. PMB Preliminary Discussions.. • Principal Partner: • CLRC • PPARC • GridPP consortium • = PMB Prioritised List – recommendation to CB: • Considerations: • Clear reporting mechanism (to the EU) • Fund support across UK (meeting specific reqts.) • Additional funding (non-EU, non-PPARC) • Engagement of UK PP Community (GridPP) • Meeting non-PP requirements (e-Science centres) • EU funding via Research Councils?? (OST) • Other political (CB)..

  9. CB Recommendations • UK involvement in EGEE • Does CB recommend participation? • EU-funded post priorities • Are the general priorities appropriate/approved? • Principal Partner • Timely decision required – strengthens UK’s case within EGEE. • Next Step… • Return to EGEE core with GridPP input for EGEE proposal development… 5/11/02…
