  1. Bulgarian Involvement in the European Grid Infrastructure Aneta Karaivanova, Emanouil Atanassov, Todor Gurov Institute for Parallel Processing Bulgarian Academy of Sciences

  2. Overview • Evolvement of Grids • What is Grid? • Goals of the EGEE project • Structure of EGEE operations • Bulgarian involvement in EGEE activities • Current status of regional operations • Mission of the SEE-GRID project NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  3. Historical perspective • Local Computing • All computing resources at single site. • People move to resources to work. • Remote Computing • Resources accessible from distance. • All significant resources still centralized. • Distributed Computing • Resources geographically distributed. • Specialized access; largely data transfers. • Grid Computing • Resources and services geographically distributed. • Standard interfaces; transfers of computations and data. NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  4. What is the Grid? • The Grid - next generation of Internet computing. • The Grid was first properly explained by Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman in their book The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure (1998). Their vision: providing distributed resources for transparent public use, based on standartized interface. Their idea: people could access computational power, content, and other computer services in an easy way, just like using electricity by plugging a device into a wall socket. • It was a dream. Where are we now? NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • EGEE is the biggest EU project that aims to integrate current national, regional and thematic Grids, in order to create a seamless Grid infrastructure for the support of scientific research. • 2 + 2 years project • 70 partners from 27 participating countries • Integrate over 100 sites into a common infrastructure • Offer 5 Petabytes (1015) storage • 3000 users from at least 5 disciplines NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  6. EGEE Partner federations All work in EGEE will be carried out by the 70 partners grouped in 12 federations. The Bulgarian EGEE partner is the IPP-BAS. NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  7. Goals of the EGEE project Within a four year programme: • Build, deploy and operate a consistent, robust and secure grid available to scientists 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. • Improve and maintain the middleware in order to deliver a reliable service to users • Attract new users from science and industry and ensure training and support for them NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  8. Pilot New EGEE research communities • Over the duration of the project the Grid Services will be expanded and taken to new communities. NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005

  9. Activities of EGEE • Network Activities • NA1: Project Management • NA2: Dissemination and Outreach • NA3: User Training and Induction • NA4: Application Identification and Support • NA5: Policy and International Cooperation • Service Activities • SA1: Grid Support, Operation and Management • SA2: Network Resource Provision • Joint Research Activities • JRA1: Middleware Reengineering + Integration • JRA2: Quality Assurance • JRA3: Security • JRA4: Network Services Development Emphasis in EGEE is on operating a production grid and supporting the end-users NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005
