  1. Marcin Okoń Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center, Supercomputing Department e-Science 2006, Amsterdam, Dec. 4-6 2006 Virtual Laboratoryas a Remote and Interactive Access to the Scientific Instrumentation Embedded in the Grid Environment

  2. Introduction to the Virtual Laboratory System • VLab architecture • Digital Science Library • VLab in European projects • Radioastronomy (EXPReS - FABRIC) • Research projects (RINGrid) • Summary Agenda

  3. Introduction to the Virtual Laboratory System Main goals: Creation of distributed environment enabling remote access to various types of scientific instruments Dynamic Measurement Scenarios (dynamic workflow) Scheduling and remote access to interactive computational tasks Digital Science Library (sharing and reusing experiment results) Workgroup collaboration tools Educational potential

  4. The Virtual Laboratory architecture

  5. Introduction to the Virtual Laboratory System (cont.)

  6. Digital Science Library

  7. Visualization Interactive access to visualization applications from VLab portal

  8. Current developments NMR Spectometer – BRUKER Advance 600MHz Installed in the Chemistry Departmet of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań

  9. Current developments (cont.) Radiotelescope (32m) Department of Radioastronomy of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń

  10. Virtual Laboratory in European projects EXPReS – a Real-time e-VLBI Radio Telescope - JRA1: Future Arrays of Broadband Radio-Telescopes on Internet Computing (FABRIC) - Grid – VLBI collaboration - Grid Workflow management - Grid Routing RING – Remote Instrumentation in Next-Generation Grids - research project

  11. EXPRESS – FABRIC www.expres-eu.org • VLBI is a technique, in which physically independent and widely separated radio telescopes observe the same region of sky simultaneously, in order to generate very high-resolution continuum and spectral-line images of cosmic radio sources • Telescopes are usually separated by thousands of kilometres • Data from each telescope are digitally sampled and stored locally, using high-capacity magnetic tape systems and magnetic disk-array systems • Data are sent and correlated at the central point (JIVE) • The total flow of data into the central processor is approximately 10-100 Terabytes per single observation, after processing this is reduced to 10-100 Gbytes.

  12. EXPRESS – FABRIC (cont.) • EXPReS – the objective is to create a production-level “electronic” VLBI (e-VLBI) service, in which the radio telescopes are reliably connected to the central data processor at JIVE via a high-speed optical-fibre communication network: • Single radio telescope is producing a 2.5Gbps of data during e-VLBI observation • Up to 16 radiotelescopes can take part in the e-VLBI • Aggregate data flow of up to 40 Gbps into the central processor • Generating high-resolution images of cosmic radio sources in real-time.

  13. e-VLBI pilots Current status of the e-VLBI Proof-of-Concept Telescope Network connections. Five telescopes are connected to their NREN, GEANT & ultimately JIVE at 1 Gbps (Jodrell Bank & Cambridge – UK; Westerbork –NL; Torun – PL; Onsala – SE). Arecibo (USA) is connected at 155 Mbps.

  14. Remote Instrumentation in Next Gen Gridswww.ringrid.eu • RINGrid – SSA project funded under 6thFP • Partners from UK, Austria, Greece, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Mexico and Uruguay • RINGrid objectives: • Identification of instruments and user communities, definition of requirements • Remote instrumentation synergy with next-generation high-speed communications networks and grid infrastructures • Trends definition and recommendations for designing next-generation Remote Instrumentation Services • Promoting equal access to European e-Infrastructure opportunities

  15. Summary • Virtual Laboratory • Remote Access to spectrometers, radiotelescopes and more • Sophisticated experiments, requiring real-time access • Collaboration and workgroup tools • Sharing and reusing experiments results, publications, etc. via Digital Science Library • Educational potential • European projects • EXPRESS – real-time e-VBLI experiments • RINGrid – future trends and recommendations
