  1. Nordic GRID Activities NORDUnet 2003 Reykjavik - August 26 2003 John Renner Hansen Niels Bohr Institute

  2. Natural Science Research Councils DK SF S N Nordic Data Grid Facility Core Group Project Director 4 Post Doc.s Steering Group 3 members per country 1 R.C. Civil Servant 2 Scientists The Nordic GRID Dimension NOS-N • Create the basis for a common Nordic Data Grid Facility 2. Coordinate Nordic GridActivities Total budget 1M € for two years

  3. Examples on Nordic and EU GRID projects with Nordic participation Scandinavian Grid cooperation Nordic Grid Consortium - NGC – Laboratory for Grid middleware and application development NorduGrid - Nordic testbed for wide area computing and data handling FP5 Projects DataGrid- The project aims to enable access to geographically distributed computing power and storage facilities. CSC collaborates with HIP, Helsinki Institute of Physics (EU) ENACTS- European Network for Advanced Computing Technology for Science (EU)

  4. New EU FP6 initiatives DEISA - Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications EGEE - Enabling Grids for E-Science and industry in Europe REALISTE - Realistic Modelling in Environmental And Life Sciences Through Escience BIGGER - BioInformatics and Genomics Grid for European Research GrATe - Grid Access Technologies GARDEN – Creating high band width network infrastructure in Europe

  5. GRID in SWEDEN

  6. Proposal and fund request for a Swedish Data GRID Test Bed to Knut och Alice Wallenberg Foundation Swedish Research Council • for generic development of GRID technology in Sweden, • for GRID calculations in broad range of scientific and technological • applications in Sweden • for participation in Nordic, European and World wide GRID • development work.

  7. GRID applications in different research fields • Biomedical Sciences • Earth Sciences • Space and Astro Sciences • High Energy Physics Program for the Seminar on SweGrid for e-Science Place: Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala, Polhemssalen Time: Wednesday 9 April 2003 10.00-17.00 hrs http://www.swegrid.se/

  8. GRID in DENMARK

  9. Denmark Two collaborating Grid projects • Danish Centre for Scientific Computing • DCSC-Grid will span the four DCSC sites and thus unify the resources within DCSC • Danish Centre for Grid Computing sponsored by the Danish Natural Science Research Council • Seeks to become the national Grid project • DCSC Grid will be a partner in DCGC • Implementation is based on the NorduGrid tool kit

  10. Resources Denmark • Grid computing: 2003: 200K dkk • Application for 7.5M dkk for three years granted by the research council • Supercomputing: 16M dkk/year • Supercomputing centres will be connected to a SC-GRID

  11. GRID in NORWAY

  12. Norway • NOTUR Emerging Technologies on Grid Computing is the main mover • Oslo-Bergen “mini-Grid” in place • Trondheim and Tromsø should be joining • The end of the NOTUR program makes the Grid future uncertain

  13. Resources Norway • Grid computing: 2003: 1M NOK • Supercomputing: 22M NOK/year • Plus app. 22M NOK/year from other sources

  14. GRID in FINLAND

  15. Grid in Finland CSC plays a major role in the national Grid activities and participates in building European and national Grid infrastructure. CSC works in close co-operation with supercomputing centres worldwide and successfully applies the Grid technology to a number of national and regional projects. Current Grid activities at CSC CSC Scientist's User Interface - CSC's extranet service for researchers HAKA - Towards cross-organisational user administration in Finnish higher education ENACTS, DataGrid, EGEE, BIGGER, REALISTE, DEISA

  16. Resources Finland • Grid computing: app 1M Euro • Only for testing purposes • Supercomputing: 8 M Euro

  17. NorduGrid Project Overview • Started in spring of 2001, with the aim of creating a Grid infrastructure in the Nordic countries • Partners from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland • Initially meant only to be the Nordic branch of the EU DataGrid (EDG) Testbed • Currently relies on very limited human resources (5 full-time researchers, few part-time ones)

  18. NorduGrid components • Use Globus components to build a working Grid • Globus RPM distribution based on Globus 2.0 for RedHat 7.2 • Has also been verified on Slackware and Mandrake • Can also use existing Globus installation • Use existing MDS with improved schema • Use GridFTP protocol with servers and clients built into applications • Use existing Replica Catalog to manage data • Replace most of Globus Resource management Grid Manager • Rewrite User Interface with broker added
