  1. National Grid in Singapore –Moving Forward EGEE 2006 Geneva, Switzerland

  2. Outline • Mission • Status • New Initiatives

  3. National Grid Mission to facilitate the seamless use of an integrated cyber infrastructure in a secure, effective & efficient manner to advance scientific, engineering & biomedical R&D, with the longer term goal of transforming the Singapore economy using grid

  4. National Grid Steering CommitteeChairman MTI (A*STAR, EDB, SPRING, RIs) MINDEF(DSTA, DSO) MICA (IDA, MDA) MOH (Hospitals) MOE(Schools, NUS, NTU) Industry(Lilly, CPG. ITSC, SITF, …) National Grid Governance Council (NGGC) Working Groups Security Middleware & Architecture Governance & Policy Facilitates & coordinates activities National Grid Office (NGO) Network Physical Sciences Life Sciences Digital Media Manufacturing Education SIGs National Grid Operations Centre(NGOC) National Grid Competency Centre(NGCC) System Administrators Access Grid … PC Grid Computing Virtual Grid Communities

  5. Activities • Formulate the framework & policies • Plan & develop a secure platform • Adopt common open standards • Encourage the adoption of Grid Computing • Demonstrate the commercial viability of compute-resource-on-tap • Lay the foundation for a vibrant Grid Computing economy

  6. National Grid Pilot Platform • Objectives: • Promote grid computing awareness • Foster collaboration • Interconnect maincompute resources • Scope: • Establish 1GE backbone • Establish rudimentary infrastructure for R&D in universities/research centres • Testbed distributed applications

  7. Organized by : Distributed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) Simulation Collaborative Engineering Design & Simulation Complex Design & Modeling Physical Sciences Activities Temasek Labs Distributed Simulation of Flow over Dimpled Surfaces Skewed Satellite Image Geo-rectified Satellite Image Geo-rectification of Satellite Images Diagnostics & Repair Scheduling

  8. Organised by E-Cell & Gene Simulation Encyclopedia of Life Life Sciences Activities • Rationalizing Life Sciences database download, mirroring & maintenance • Hosting of locally generated databases (ala NCBI) • Future Enhancements • Allow queries across main databases • Support integration of Singapore data • Expand audience to include medical professionals GridBlast

  9. PC Grid Computing • Activities • Vacation Camp 2005 & 2006 • About 80 students & teachers each year • Grid-enabling of 2 new applications • Speech modeling & Auto-Docking • 2 tracks • Build • Use (digital media & bioinformatics) • Platforms • BOINC, MP (United Devices), XGrid (Apple) Jointly organized by

  10. AeroGenome – Crunching on a PC Grid • Aim: To study bacterial micro-organisms in the air in Singapore. • Motivation: Air plays significant role in public & environmental health • Initial dataset of 20,000 DNA sequences were matched against database of 3 million known sequences. Single run on isolated compute resources took an entire month. • Same process took less than 2 days on TCG@NUS • Future: Scale up study using larger datasets. [Courtesy of Dr. Patrick Tan, GIS]

  11. Grid ComputingCompetency Certification GCCC Part 2 Attained Fulfill following conditions: Passed ACM Exams Attained sufficient credit points from Electives Experience Report endorsed Attained GCCC Part 1 Passed GCCC Part 2 ACM Exam GCCC Part 1 Attained GCCC Part 2 ACM Course GCCC Part 2 Electives Experience Report Passed GCCC Part 1 Exam GCCC Part 1 Course At least 2-3 years of working IT Experience

  12. In collaboration with HP Tiramisu Program Global Operational Grid (GOG) • Implement baseline grid HPC resources • Build partnerships • Industry-relevant IP creation CERN LCG ANL Caltech CERN NCSA Purdue PSC SDSC ASCC SINGAPORE GOG Cluster

  13. International Collaboration & Membership

  14. Industry Initiatives

  15. Accounting Organisational level consumer-provider business relationship Metering Usage charging Ganglia Only stores & reports on information of resource status, no information of users & their jobs Hence, no metering & accounting mechanism Monitoring Collection of raw data Resource Usage … Grid Accounting System (GAS) Bill for organization A = ∑ (usage of members of organization A at resources owned by other organizations) $ = f (CPU , memory, license,…) Resource Usage [Courtesy of A/Prof. Francis Lee, NTU]

  16. Netrust Certificate Authority • Current Status: • Completed migration. All existing NGPP sites have migrated their host certificates to Netrust certificates. • Continual effort to issue certificates for • New users of NGPP resources • Additional hosts added to NGPP • Temporary CA will continue to exist to issue certificates for testing & trials.

  17. Meta Scheduler Rollout • Objective • To provide LSF Meta-Scheduler for seamless access to NGPP compute resources • Collaboration with Platform Computing • Meta-Scheduler must inter-operate with • LSF, PBS Pro & N1GE • Completion: Q3 2005

  18. Enterprise Grid for SMEs • Objectives • Create awareness in SMEs • Provide assistance & guidance to SMEs to harness Grid Computing to exploit internal compute resources • First site to benefit • MegaMedia’s digital media hub (dmh) • Mental ray licenses for 64 CPUs acquired with Omens-Studios ready to use.

  19. Interactive & Digital Media • Free access to common pool of mental ray licenses • No charge to commercial users, IHL users & independent animators • Digital Media companies that have used the facilities • TheContentCompany • Omens-Studio • VHQ Productions • Digital Media companies scheduled to use the facilities • mega media • Cubix International • Cyber-Max • Grid Service Brokers • Frontline Technologies Pte Ltd • IHLs • Singapore Polytechnic • Ngee Ann Polytechnic

  20. Pipeline of Animation Projects • Completed • Smoking Fish – Hold onto Your Butt • The Yellowman Shortfilm • In the queue … • Piko the Silkworm (22 x 2min episodes) • Man Made Marvels Documentary • Zheng He Documentary • Fun Bots • Nutritional Immunology Sciences Documentary
