EGEE – Grid project • M. Petitdidier (IPSL/CETP) • Coordinator of Earth science domain • monique.petitdidier@cetp.ipsl.fr • In collaboration with EGEE and DEGREE EU-project
Acute Questions for Earth Science • Forecasting of meteorological events • Extreme events: storm, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, tsunami… • Water management: precipitations, flood, aquifer.. • Pollution,,… • => To provide real time information: real time data access, data assimilation and modelling • Long term prediction : Climate Change • Climatology i.e. trend of parameter variations like temperature, precipitations…. • Polar ozone hole • Impact on weather, agriculture… • => Long series of multiple data sets, Intense processing, • Discoveries and Dissemination of the knowledge • How it works, Why…. • These are Questions for • Operational and Science organisations
GRID: a solution • GRID infrastructure Since 2000 • Considered an “open platform” for handling computing resources, data, tools… • Partner can use a lot more resources than the ones he (she) brings in • Impressive number of shared resources • EGEEII around 40,000 CPUS distributed in 200 sites • 5 PB storage • A collaborative possible platform among teams and/or countries • interactive collaboration to avoid effort duplication • Secure and restricted access to resources, data, tools… • Same data and software policy as outside Grid • Grid will open new fields of investigation on Earth Science
Highlights of EGEE-II EGEE Production Grid Infrastructure Steady growth over the lifetime of the project Improved reliability Data Transfer MB/s 08/2006 04/2006
Operations 98k jobs/day • Size of the infrastructure today: • 237 sites in 45 countries • ~36 000 CPU • ~ 5 PB disk, + tape MSS • distributed operations • copes well with increase in size and usage

Final Remarks • New tools needed to use the whole Grid potential • Due to Change in scale of computing power • Need of Exploration of huge data sets • Creation of Platform integrating web services, computing power, information systems…. • New conceptual approach of Earth Science • Role of Scientist • Application development DEGREE EU project is preparing the future
Strategic objectives • Bridge the ES and GRID communities throughout Europe • Ensure that ES requirements are satisfied in next Grid generation • Ensure the integration of emerging technologies for managing ES knowledge http://www.eu-degree.eu • The DEGREE team: • IISAS, Slovakia (Coordinator) • CNRS, France • KNMI, The Netherlands • UNINE, Switzerland • CRS4, Italy • SCAI, Germany • GCRAS, Russia • ESA-ESRIN, Italy • CGG, France • Dutch Space, The Netherlands Project Vision Build a bridge linking the ES and Grid communities
European Grid Initiative • Need to prepare permanent, common Grid infrastructure • Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e-Infrastructure independent of short project funding cycles • Coordinate the integration and interaction between National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) • Operate the production Grid infrastructure on a European level for a wide range of scientific disciplines Must be no gap in the support of the production grid
