Grid-enabled Research Activities in CAS Kai Nan Computer Network Information Center (CNIC)Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Shanghai, 21 Feb 2006
Outline • I. Background • CAS Informatization Program 2001-2005 • CAS e-Science Initiative 2006-2010 • II. Grid-enabled Research Activities • Middleware • Applications • III. Collaborations with EU
Vision of CAS Informatization • e-Science + ARP →Digital CAS • e-Science represents Informatization of Research Activities • ARP (Academia Resource Planning) represents Informatization of Administrative Activities for Research
CAS Informatization Program(2001-2005) • Major Projects • emphasis on Upgrade of Infrastructure
Resources • Lenovo 6800Superserver • Storage • VizWall • Scientific Data (SDB) • Science DigitalLib (CSDL)
CAS e-Science Initiative2006-2010 • e-Science would be applications-driven • focus on implementation of e-Science Virtual Labs, the way for scientists to use • infrastructure may need refactoring
e-Science Virtual Labs • “Virtual Labs” • special meanings in the e-Science context • the key position in our e-Science framework • the core component to make e-Science a reality
vLabs Requirements • Infrastructure may be (almost) ready, but e-Science is not yet. • so many existing resources in place, but just a few could be brought into full play even now, with an advanced infrastructure ready. • bottleneck may be the gap between products by computer experts and end users of domain scientists • much more effort than expected to bridge this gap • Virtual Lab is proposed to be • a basic unit of research activity in the e-Science environment • the right user interface between scientists and their e-Science environment
vLabs Goals • With Virtual Labs, • all kinds of resources could be integrated into a single access point; • customized and flexible services would be provided according to the specific requirements of different domains in an easier way than ever before; • multidisciplinary, multi-site and multi-organization collaboration could be carried out on a routine basis.
Scientific Database (SDB)& Scientific Data Grid (SDG) 45 institutes participated 503 databases 16.6 TB 236-CPU Superserver (1TF) 20TB Disk Array 50TB Tape Library VizWall & Access Grid
Requirements and SDG • How to FIND the data I want from hundreds or thousands of databases • How to ACCESS large-scale, distributed and heterogeneous scientific data uniformly and conveniently • How to make sure all this goes always in a SECURE and proper way
Data Access Service (DAS) • Uniform Access Interface (read-only) • Rich metadata • Easy publish on web • flexible configuration and extensibility
DataView Data Access Interface Virtual Database MappingBuilder Physical Database DAS modules

e-Science applications • High Energy Physics • Astronomy • Biology • Natural Resources • Disaster Reduction • …
YBJ-ARGO/AS • Italy,Japan-China cosmic ray observatories in Tibet. • 200TB raw data per year. • Data transferred to IHEP and processed with 400 CPUs. • Rec. data accessible by collaborators.
YBJ-ARGO • Established a 8Mb/s link from Tibet to Beijing, by CNIC of CAS. To be upgraded to 155Mb/s soon. Stopped bringing tapes half year agao. • Building a computing system based on LCG,collaboration of IHEP of CAS, CNIC of CAS, INFN of Italia , EU-China Grid application under EU FP6 project
LCG Tier-1/2 • to build a LCG Tier-1/2 node in China • Institute of High Energy Physics of CAS • CNIC providing support and working together with IHEP
