  1. CERN’s partnershipwith IT industry Created in 2002 Phase I: 2003-2005 Phase II: 2006-2008 Phase III: 2009-2011

  2. A science – industry partnership to drive R&D and innovation • Started in 2002, now in second phase, phase 3 under preparation Motto: “you make it – we break it” • Evaluates state-of-the-art technologies in a very complex environment and improves them • Test in a research environment today what will be used in industry tomorrow

  3. Relationship • Two kinds of relationships: • Partners • Engagement for three years • Contribution 800 kCHF/year (500k€) • 50% in cash to fund personnel, 50% in-kind or services • Contributors • Engagement for one year • Contribution of 240kCHF (160k€) • 50% in cash as well 3 October 2008

  4. openlab phase I • Partners: Enterasys, HP, IBM, Intel & Oracle • CERN opencluster: a major success • Significant contributions to the LHC Computing Grid Project • 10Gb/s technology and long-distance networking • 64-bit technology, high-performance cluster • CFD calculations for experiments • Open software, compiler technology, tuning • Streaming for data-replication • Experience with complex data storage • Many workshops, visits and partner events • Participation and support in conferences 3 October 2008

  5. openlab phase II Formal relation with EGEE Stronger emphasis on funding young scientists Main areas of collaboration: Platform Competence Centre Grid Interoperability Centre Analysis and management of large complex network infrastructures Security (completed in 2007) Grid Monitoring Marketing events Supported EGEE conference 3 October 2008

  6. openlab phase III Covers 2009-2011 Extensions under preparation with present partners Discussions on-going with possible new partners New topics Multi-core, many core Memory optimization Power reduction Control systems and PLC security Extended Grid monitoring Green IT – new data centre Siemens just became partner 3 October 2008

  7. openlab is also about people 3 October 2008

  8. openlab students 3 October 2008

  9. openlab students & supervisors 3 October 2008

  10. openlab fellows 3 October 2008

  11. openlab Board of Sponsors 3 October 2008

  12. Summary • openlab has established it self as a reference • Good balance between near-term and mid-term R&D • Continuous stream of results due to long-term partnerships • openlab has trained many young scientists • LHC computing has profited directly • A big “thank you” to our partners and contributors 3 October 2008
