  1. Vicky White Associate Lab Director for Computing Science and Technology/CIO March 10, 2010 OSG Consortium MeetingWelcome from Fermilab

  2. Welcome to all The institutions – labs and universities. The representatives of the scientific communities (the Virtual Organizations). The providers of core software technology which is integral to OSG. The “engagers” and educators who are reaching out to new communities or new people. The funding agencies – who via OSG are supporting better use of the computing resources provided for science and enabling more science. Vicky White, OSG Consortium Meeting, March 10, 2010

  3. The OSG Journey 1993 - now From the ideas and ambitious vision to build something of sustained value to scientific communities (following on from successful early Grid projects at DOE and NSF) To the broad community and successful infrastructure of today Fermilab is proud to be a founding member of OSG and a strongly supportive member of this OSG collaborative community Vicky White, OSG Consortium Meeting, March 10, 2010

  4. Welcome and Open Science Grid Vision Vicky White Head, Computing Division, Fermilab January 12, 2004 Open Science Grid Meeting and Workshop

  5. What should the US do? To lead in the creation of a global “infostructure” that will enable scientists in large worldwide collaborations, working with petabytes of data “…to share the costs and burdens of the immense computing resources needed and, more importantly, to fully participate in the science from the far corners of the globe”

  6. OSG - White Paper and Roadmap • The approach is basically to federate many of the large computing investments made by both DOE and NSF at Facilities (such as Fermilab, BNL, LBL, SLAC, JLAB), at Universities, in Grid projects – starting with Physics-related investments and their close partnerships with Computer Scientists – and then expanding outwards.

  7. What should the US do? To lead in the creation of a global “infostructure” that will enable scientists in large worldwide collaborations, working with petabytes of data “…to share the costs and burdens of the immense computing resources needed and, more importantly, to fully participate in the science from the far corners of the globe”

  8. From the White Paper “The Open Science Grid will ensure that current and future particle and nuclear physics experiments benefit maximally from the large computing, data storage, network and grid investments already made and planned for. The Open Science Grid will ensure that the U.S. plays a leading role in defining and operating the global grid infrastructure needed for large-scale collaborative and international scientific research. The Open Science Grid will provide a set of services that can be enriched as new science areas choose to join and federate their resources. For the first time combined computing resources at several DOE labs and at dozens of universities will effectively become a single national computing infrastructure for science, the Open Science Grid”.

  9. Measuring Success of OSG Against the vision and what we set out to achieve, in phases, when getting started Against the impact on different scientific communities Against the cost savings from each community doing everything their own way in isolation Against the broader impacts Against the efficiency in use of resources – through opportunistic shared use ……. By any measure OSG has been a success Vicky White, OSG Consortium Meeting, March 10, 2010

  10. The Future – the bar is always higher Not enough to just work well, extend functionality and add communities Surely has to be adaptation to new • Funding situations • Buzz-words and technologies (e.g. Cloud) • Partnership opportunities I believe it is still really important to be able to lay out a vision and a roadmap towards that vision • At the same time as continuing the successful operation and use of OSG today Vicky White, OSG Consortium Meeting, March 10, 2010

  11. All-hands meetings Great time to reflect on the successes To strengthen the partnerships To iron out some problems To remember to think about and paint the big picture of where the Consortium is going and what, together, we are trying to achieve Have a wonderful and productive day, as I hope you have had in the previous two days and WELCOME TO FERMILAB Vicky White, OSG Consortium Meeting, March 10, 2010
