  1. Re.Ca.S. Rete di Calcolo per SuperB 1 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  2. Characteristics of the «call for projects» • P.O.N. (National OperationalProgramme) isfunded by EU • Fundingisstrictlylimited to 4 southernregions • Project to be presented by Aug. 11th • Fundingrequest: min 15 M€, max 45 M€ • Only for «large» infrastructure, includinggrid • About 9,5% is for educational purposes 2 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  3. Characteristics of ourproject • Amountrequested: 44,5 M€ • Partecipants: • INFN (NA, BA, CT, CS) • UniNA • UniBA • INFN: 22,5; UniNA: 11 M€; UniBA: 11 M€ 3 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  4. Keypersons • L. Merola (NA - head, empoweringproject) • R. Bellotti (BA – head, educational project) • G. Russo (NA - relationship with funding agency; proposalsubmission and follow-up) • Oneadministrativeofficer for each partner 4 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  5. Contents of the project (1) • Build 4 Data Centers • Sizes in the ratio 15:15:10:2.5 (NA:BA:CT:CS) • # of racks in the ratio 50:50:30:10 • Infrastructure in each center: • Energy (HPC: trigeneration from methane) • Electricalapparatuses • Technical (mechanics, firesystemsetc) 5 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  6. Contents of the project(2) • Storage – 40% of rackunits: • space for 6 PB at NA, BA • spacefor 3 PB atCT • space for 1 PB atCS • Nodes: – 50% of rackunits: • spacefor 24.000 coresat NA, BA • space for 15.000 coresatCT • space for 3.000 coresatCS 6 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  7. Timeline • Approvalexpected by Jan 2012 • Internal startup expected by april 2012 • 50 peopletemporarilyrecruited and funded (up to november 2014) • Tenders to start by june 2012 • Tender duration: 18 months • Installation: first semester 2014 • Nothingcompatible with R&D for SuperB, exceptpersonnel 7 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  8. Commissioningphase • From march 2014 to dec 2014 • Likely on LHC, and partially on SuperB • Universitieswill use the Data Centers also for otherresearches (estimated 10% of resources) 8 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th

  9. Conclusions • Uniqueopportunity • Timeline for hw non optimal with respect to SuperB • Timeline for personnel and educational programmecompatible with R&D for SuperB 9 G. Russo Ferrara, 2011 july 7th
