  1. IDGFInternationalDesktopGridFederation How can you benefit from joining IDGF? Lyon, 23.09.2011 Peter Kacsuk, MTA SZTAKI, kacsuk@sztaki.hu EDGI is supported by the FP7 Capacities Programme under contract nr RI-261556.

  2. Benefit for new volunteer BOINC systems • It takes several years until a new volunteer BOINC system can collect substantial number of resources • IDGF will give access to the large set of SG VO resources that were created in the EDGeS and later in the DEGISCO project • It contains over 2000 computers

  3. Desktop Grid VO Statistics

  4. Examples of volunteer BOINC systems supported by the DEGISCO business model • SLinCA@home (Ukraina) • Yoyo@home (Germany) • IberCivis (Spain and Portugal) • CAS@home (China) • Optima@home (Russia) • Poem@home (Germany) • Univ. of Westminster Campus Grid (UK)

  5. Yoyo@home (over 1 TFlop/s)

  6. Attracting more participants for volunteer desktop grids • EDGI introduces a new architecture where desktop grids (BOINC, XtremWeb) can be extended with cloud resources for QoS • However, in order to get cloud resources the user needs credits • In order to collect credit either the user or her organization should provide resources for volunteer DGs belonging to IDGF • If you joined to IDGF those who would like to earn more credit for cloud resources will support your DG system

  7. Benefits for those who would like to build a campus grid • There are several technologies (BOINC, Condor, OurGrid, XtremWeb, etc.) to build a campus grid • IDGF provides forum to • discuss and compare these technologies • make them popular to the scientific communities • elaborate the interconnection methods of campus grids built on these technologies • IDGF provides support to build the campus grid • Technology selection support • Installation, configuration and testing support • User interface (e.g. portal) provision support • Application porting support

  8. Benefits for those who would like to port applications to DG systems • Porting applications to volunteer DG is not easy • IDGF members have expertise in this field and can provide support for newcomers • Application porting technology selection support • Providing best practice case studies of application porting • Assistance in porting an application

  9. Application porting experience in EDGI

  10. Application porting experience in EDGI

  11. Ported applications available @ EGI AppDB

  12. Benefits for those who would like to extend SG VO with DG • The EDGI business model and architecture is a good example how to extend a SG VO with DGs • Small SG VOs can get additional resources for parameter sweep (PS) applications • IDGF members have expertise in this field • IDGF provides support to extend a SG VO with DGs • Technology selection support • Installation, configuration and testing support • User interface (e.g. portal) provision support • Application porting support

  13. Balanced usage of SG and DG systems within a country • With the technology provided by EDGI and DEGISCO processing load can be transferred towards the less loaded systems • Overloaded SGs can transfer jobs to DGs • Overloaded DGs can transfer WUs to SGs

  14. Benefit for technology and application developer organizations of the European Chapter • IDGF will investigate the possibility of participating in FP7 and FP8 EU projects • If this is possible, to take IDGF as partner in EU projects will be attractive since IDGF will represent a large community (see the HealthGrid experience) • Then the work allocated for IDGF in these projects would be distributed among the member organizations of the European Chapter

  15. Conclusions • Joining IDGF is worth for both SG and DG community members • DG community members can extend their DG with SG resources • SG community members can extend their SG VO with DG resources • Both communities can get application porting support • IDGF can significantly impact the community and can attract additional financial resources
