  29. ApGrid: Current Status • Just kicked off, and some of the resources are ready, but still we need: • Hiring people to maintain and to install the regular services initially • Enrolling more partners • Reserved: apgrid.org, Web site will be open shortly • Find international partners • Creating much stronger relation with APAN activities

  30. Summary • Some success stories • Collaboration with Application Scientists • International Collaborations • Osaka-U/UCSD (Globus) • NetSolve/Ninf Collaboration • WGCC2000, Grid Forum, metacomputing WS • Government funded several small projects • the Asia-Pacific Grid (ApGrid) • TACC is ready for providing computing resources • National, Regional testbed • International Collaborations Efforts a MUST!

  31. TACC Overview • Missions • Providing world leadership in advanced computing science and technology through the development and application of computing science and engineering • Organization • MITI/AIST operates directly since 1981 • 2 executive, 7 technical, 2 admin + SEs • Annual budget 2,400M JPY (=20M USD) • Incl. Supercomputer rental, SE, network maintenance, electricity, etc. • Collaborative activities with partners • RWCP, Tsukuba Univ., NAL, Jaeri, KEK, • HRLS, CSAR, SDSC, UTK, LANL, NIST, ETHZ, ANU...

  32. ITBL is NOT • ApGrid nor Japan Grid nor Tokyo Grid nor Tsukuba Grid nor… • An Infrastructure-oriented project • An Application-oriented project • An Earth Simulator-related project • A successor to RWCP • A Grid project • An internationally collaborative project • A domestically collaborative project • A huge project • A Good project (at least to our opinion) • Then, what is IT? • Nobody really knows (or cares) • And thus its objective must be top secret (even to us) • Probably upgrades several supercomputer boxes (箱物) and network links (ゼネコン対策)
