  10. Status of BEN • BEN - a Teraflops supercomputer at ECT* - has been reviewed by the Scientific Board of ECT* at its 50th Meeting, January 10, 2009 • No severe problems since then and 7 major projects (mainly from the U of Trento) were running • BEN is approaching 5 years of activity and is still an important computational resource for the community. Some investments would be needed to keep it running a few more years • However, when the AURORA project – a Petaflops supercomputer – will start, BEN will have to be shut down, since the access to its room is needed to install the first AURORA prototype module

  11. Outline of the AURORA project • AURORA is a Petascale computing project for science and engineering • Joint effort between PAT / INFN / FBK-ECT* / U of Trento / FEM / ATreP / DEI PADUA and industrial partners EUROTECH and INTEL • Recent collaboration with the Russian supercomputing project SKIF – AURORA and with QPACE / Regensburg and PETAQCD / Orsay • Project is embedded into a large collaboration • Furthermore, the collaboration involves people with experience from the HPC/APE line developed by INFN / DESY / ORSAY / EUROTECH

  12. Present Status of the AURORA project • Project of Petascale computing for science and engineering administered scientifically by ECT* • First discussions about the project with participants from the U of Trento and the FBK started about 2 years ago • Since then 3 scientific evaluations: one by an INFN committee, another one by a committee formed by the Scientific Board of the ECT* and also one by a scientific committee of the PAT • Finally, last month during a visit of the INFN President Professor Petronzio in Trento it was agreed upon that the PAT and the INFN prepare an agreement how the first phase of AURORA could be financed and executed.

  13. Provisional budget of AURORA 4.4 Mio € ~ 4 “ ~ 1.8 “ ~ 2.2 Mio € 2 – 4 18 + 18 months • Originally requested • Envisaged to be granted • Prototypes • Personnel, meetings, schools, … • Research positions expected for ECT* • Approval in 2 phases • Decision still expected within June 09 • Updates of AURORA will be given at each following meeting Prototype of ~ 25 Tflops (at ECT*) should be working

  14. Budget and Status of Funding FBK / PAT + Outside funds = Budget In 2007: 521 k€ + 633 k€= 1.154 Mio€ In 2008: 736 k€+ 539 k€ = 1.275 Mio€ In 2009: Still only a provisional budget of an amount 1.201 Mio€

  15. New strict rules for Workshops • Presence sheet to be signed each day in addition to the presence book • Three categories of support: organizers 100% • participants 70% • participants • (self supported) lunches + 2 dinners • No travel support

  16. Budget and Status of Funding The official fixed start date of the Hadron Physics 2 project has been 01/01/2009. ECT* will be able to use € 450.000 for transnational access, i.e. any workshop, within the next two and a half years. First workshops have been partly financed through Hadron Physics 2. The Grant Agreement of the Hadron Physics 2 project has been counter-signed by the European Commission. Professor C. Guaraldo will send us shortly the ANNEX IV – FORM A - of the Grant Agreement to compile and to send back. FP7: Fourteenpayment requests have been sent on April 22, 2009. So far, eleven countries have paid their contribution: Belgium (both Flemish and French speaking part) ,Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France CEA, France CNRS, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania. Seven countries still have not signed the MoU: Austria, Greece, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Funding agencies:
