  1. SNIC SweGrid and the views of SNIC Anders Ynnerman Uppsala Department of Science and Technology 2003-04-09 Linköping University Sweden

  2. SNIC – THE NEW METACENTER • SNIC: • Provides long term funding • Coordinates investments in hardware • Coordinates competence profiles • Has a development mission • GRID • Computers • Storage • Network • Visualization • Includes a national graduate school in scientific computing

  3. SNIC-SETUP Private foundations and other sources Hosting universities HPC centers Ministry of education Users Management & Committees Science Council 45 MSEK SNIC

  4. SNIC CENTERS • HPC2N, UmU • PDC, KTH • NSC, LiU • UPPMAX, UU • UNICC, Chalmers & GU • LUNARC, LU

  5. SNIC-BOARD OF DIRECTORS • Birgit Erngren (Chairman) • Paula Eerola (GRID, Partikelfysik, LU) • Kersti Hermansson (HPC, Kemi, UU) • Erland Källén (HPC, Lagring, Klimatologi, SU) • Bertil Gustafsson (HPC, Numerisk analys, UU) • Hans Wallberg (Nätverk, UMU) • Seif Haridi (GRID, Datavetenskap, SICS, KTH) • Uno Nävert (HPC, Numerisk analys, Chalmers) • Billy Fredriksson (Saab, Linköping)

  6. SNIC-ADVISORY COMMITTEES SPAC Strategic Program Advisory Committee STAC Strategic Technical Advisory Committee SNIC Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing Resources SNAC Swedish National Allocations Committee Users

  7. The Swedish Perspective on GRIDs 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 NGC SNIC SweGrid Testbed ? Nordic GRID Facility NOS-N NorduGrid EGEE - LCG

  8. SNIC & SweGrid • Need for a large throughput HPC system in Sweden • Data storage is a strategic development area for SNIC • Building and keeping competence on new technologies • Participation in international projects Motivation

  9. SNIC & SweGrid • SNIC hosts the SweGrid project • STAC coordinates SweGrid deployment • Resources placed at SNIC centers • Allocation of resouces applied for through SNAC • SweGrid is the Swedish partner in EGEE Involvement

  10. SWEGRID TESTBED • Application to Science Council & KAW • ”all” centers for HPD in Sweden • Several IT-research groups • Several potential users of a GRID • Biomedical Sciences • Earth Sciences • Space and Astro Sciences • High Energy Physcis • Consists of PC-clusters with large storage capacity • Budget • 13.7 MSEK for staff and running costs • 22.5 MSEK for hardware

  11. SWEGRID TESTBED 22.5 MSEK KAW 2.3 MSEK/year SNIC 2.3 MSEK/year Vetenskapsrådet

  12. EGEE • Project to create European GRID • Coordinated by CERN – 7 regions • Northern region: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden • Key elements are: • Reenginnering of middleware & integration • Deployment and support infrastructure • Resource partners • Regional deployment and support centers • Grid operations centers • Grid operations management • Two pilot applications have been selected • Biomedical • High energy physics

  13. EGEE & SweGrid • SweGrid is the Swedish resource partner in EGEE • Anders Ynnerman represents Nordic countries on executive committee • We are opting for one regional deployment and support center in Sweden 4+4 FTEs • Northern Europe opts for security package • Crucial meeting at CERN on April 11th • Submission of proposal on May 6th
