The Technical Challenge NERC communities of environmental scientists are distributed How to … ? Collaborative grid-based component programming …flexibly integrate state-of-the-art Earth system modules … improve model composition tools Modern development environment Management of distributed compute and data resources … integrate large-scale hardware systems in a flexible way Data archives & visualisation of simulation runs … share, post-process, archive, re-use modelling results Inter-comparison of alternative modules/ models … test hypotheses about Earth System Modelling
GENIE Scenario • Enter Portal • Security infrastructure • Authentication and authorisation (2) Compose Simulation Workflow composition Meta-scheduler (3) Run model and monitor progress Workflow execution (4) Archive and process results Visualisation and analysis (Link to GODIVA project)
The Underlying Technology • Portal • Web-based • Wrapping of component models • XML schema, Java, Web services technology • Repositories for components and data • Open-source database system (e.g. Storage Resource Broker) • Computational Grid infrastructure • Condor pools, Beowulf clusters, linked by middleware (ICENI) • Meta-scheduler • Monitors the Grid, runs model on best platform/s

Next Steps • Environmental Science • Closing the carbon cycle • Improving the atmosphere • Add 3-D ice sheet model • E-Science • Expand functionality and flexability of portal • Develop model database system • Implement first version of modular system
Summary and Future of GENIE • A Grid-ENabled Integrated Earth System Model • flexible component coupling • model execution on Grid • collaborative data sharing • virtual organisation of Earth System Modellers • A tool for the Earth system science community • To be used in RAPID and EFCHED • Link to Tyndall Integrated Assessment Model • Potentially important for new initiatives such as QUEST
