Potential roadmapBob JonesEGEE Technical Director Workshop on Biomedical Informatics Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 EGEE is proposed as a project funded by the European Union under contract IST-2003-508833
What EGEE offers BMI • Access to large-scale infrastructure thousands of processors and 1/3 petabyte online data storage • Production ready grid middleware More than 3 years of large-scale testing/deployment experience • Grid expertise Small team of technically competent people ready to help applications get up and running Training Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 2
Moving Your Application to EGEE • Data Intensive • Access to diverse data sources (format, read/write etc.) • Quantity of data • Compute Intensive • EGEE attracts mostly farms of commodity PCs • MPI available for distributed applications at many sites • Interface to DEISA for application migration is under discussion • Interfaces • Standard interfaces provided (e.g. APIs, GENIUS portal) • Application specific interfaces can be linked to the infrastructure (DEVASPIM, HKIS, BioGrid) • Security • Infrastructure can help limit access to sites, data, network and information EGEE sites are administered/owned by different organisations • Sites have ultimate control over how their resources are used • Limiting the demands of your application will make it acceptable to more sites and hence make more resources available to you Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 3
VDT EDG . . . LCG-1 LCG-2 EGEE-1 EGEE-2 AliEn LCG . . . Globus 2 based Web services based EGEE EGEE Implementation • From day 1 (1st April 2004) Production grid service based on the LCG infrastructure running LCG-2 grid mware • In parallel develop a “next generation” grid facility Produce a new set of grid services according to evolving standards (web services) Run a development service providing early access for evaluation purposes Will replace LCG-2 on production facility by early 2005 Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 4
EGEE federated resources Private Your application needs time Security & Intellectual Property • The existing EGEE grid middleware (LCG-2) is distributed under an Open Source License • No restriction on usage (scientific or commercial) beyond acknowledgement • Same approach for new middleware • Application software maintains its own licensing scheme • Sites must obtain appropriate licenses before installation • For applications that must operate in a closed environment • EGEE middleware can be download and installed on closed infrastructures Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 5
Training The success of EGEE is measured by the impact it has on collaborative European science The goal is to support communities of users Therefore induction and training have a high priority from the outset Invitation • Declare your requirements for induction and training • The sooner the better – so that you influence planning • First point of contact: • John Murison, Training Manager, NeSC : john@nesc.ac.uk Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 6
BMI Projects and EGEE Examples of possible synergies: • INFOGENMED– share info on property rights, confidentiality and privacy issues; security model; port prototype application to EGEE • HKIS– interface HKIS platform to EGEE • PRIDEH-GEN– compare security models • BIOGRID – interface Prova-A JADE agent technology to EGEE • GEMSS – share experience on middleware, webservices, deployment & security • INFOBIOMED– Possibility to animate the “biomedical community” • ARTEMIS– requirements definitions and interest in using new EGEE webservices • MAMMOGRID– interface gridbox to EGEE Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 7
How to work with EGEE 0 Review information provided on the EGEE website (www.eu-egee.org) 1 Establish contact with the EGEE applications group Vincent Breton (breton@clermont.in2p3.fr) 2 Provide information by completing a questionnaire describing your application 3Applications are selected for direct support based on scientific criteria, Grid added value, effort involved in deployment, resources consumed/contributed etc. 4 Follow a training session 5 Migrate application to EGEE infrastructure with the support of EGEE BMI technical experts 6 Initial deployment for testing purposes 7 Production usage Contribute computing resources for heavy production demands Workshop on Biomedical Informatics, Brussels , March 18-19, 2004 - 8
