  1. A very short introduction to Korea@Home Project Supercomputing Center, KISTI Chan Yeol (Connor) Park chan@kisti.re.kr

  2. Korea@Home Project? • Maybe, most of you know • SETI@Home • Folding@Home • Distributed.net • And many other distributed computing like them

  3. Architecture • Client/Server Style • Partitioning a work into many jobs • Data or Computational Intensively • Distributing the jobs into available PCs • Aggregating back the computing results

  4. Design Goals • For customers with application • Easy to use • General enough to support a variety of applications • Correctness • For PC resource providers • Transparent not to bother • Secure and privacy-guarantee • Compensation • For Server • Scalable • Adaptable

  5. Status in 2002 • Construct a platform • 4 components of servers • Main Control server • Authentication server • Scheduling and distribution server • Database • Agent for PCs • Experiment on the platform • Virtual Screening for New Drug Design

  6. 2003 and Future Plan • Architecture • Hybrid P2P • For more scalable, data sharing • Complementary Studies • Fault-tolerance • Security • More subscribers up to 50,000 • New applications • Explore compatibilities with GRID • Variety of resources

  7. Calculating Protein Active Site PMI Calculating ligand PMI Calculating the initial structure of PMI Virtual Screening Target Protein Chemical DB Share Clinical Test Manufacturing Developing new drug Analysis A protein CDK2 for cancer 50,000 chemical molecules Virtual High-Throughput Screening + + Client 1 + + Client 2 Searching for a new drug-candidates Server + + Client 3 Internet

  8. Experiments and Results • 4 days in Aug. 2002 • 1,217 PCs of anonymous volunteers • About 2 hours and 40 minutes • Performance • Peak time 53.5 Gflops / Average 31.78 Gflops • 320 hours with one PC of Pentium III 550MHz • United Devices (http://www.ud.com) • 1.7 million subscribers: 39.1 Tflops • Converting the result as 1.7 million subscribers: 46.7 Tflops (current fastest supercomputer NEC Earth Simulator 40.96 Tflops)

  9. Opportunities in Korea • Over 10 million xDSL users • Advanced Network Infrastructure • More rapid cycle of purchasing new PCs
