  2. Where? Universityof Groningen 2

  3. founded in 1614 The University of Groningen Universityof Groningen 1

  4. Center for Information Technology • ICT service institute of the university • Staff: 141 fte • Budget: € 16.000.000 (2012) • Internetlink: multiple 10 Gbit/s links • 2 computer halls: 725 m2 • Electricity consumption computer halls:3.000.000 kilowatt-hour

  5. High Performance Computing • Linux cluster (400 cores) • Grid cluster (200 cores, 48 Terabyte storage) • Super pc (16 cores, 128 GB memory) • Blue Gene/P(12.000 cores, 35 Tflops/s) • New cluster:± 2.500 cores

  6. Reality Cube and Virtual Reality Theatre

  7. Astronomy, Soil, Climate Agriculture, Meteorology Geofysics Universe Earth Supercomputer analysis 5 ICT- Sensors receive Data storage 4 LOFAR ICT-Platform Hypercomputer data processing 1 3 High capacity ICT-Network transport 2

  8. High capacity optical network coupling clusters of RF sensors Cluster of RF sensors X Central processor 13.000 antennas 100 stations full control via internet simultaneous users High speed data transport Sensor cluster (Station) LOFAR:data generation and transport, middle distance

  9. High capacity optical network coupling clusters of RF sensors Cluster of RF sensors X Central processor 13.000 antennas 100 stations full control via internet simultaneous users High speed data transport Sensor cluster (Station) LOFAR:data generation and transport, middle distance

  10. LOFAR central processing IBM BlueGene/L in LINUX cluster • Central processing: • 35 Tflop/s • Data rates internally within correlator: 20 Tbit/s

  11. data operation center - into storage: 25 Gbit/s = 250 TByte/day- final products: 1-3 TByte/day- archive: many PByte data storage academic research library: 2 TBprint collections Library of Congress: 10 TBall US academic research libraries: 2 PBNCAR mass storage system (july 2004): 2 PBall printed material in the world: 200 PBall words ever spoken by human beings: 5000 PBsource: UC Berkeley

  12. Lessons learned: • Get into close collaboration with the scientists • Do not over dimension first platform • Pay attention to expanding scientific impact to other disciplines • Human capacity building • Create opportunities for spin offs • Get more females into the picture

  13. Thankyouforyour attention Questions?
