Agenda • Grid Infrastructure • GIPU model • PERN • Future Directions • Conclusion
Grid Infrastructure • The Concept • Computing Grids • Data Grids
PERN: Pakistan Education and Research Network • Countrywide educational intranet • Backbone for GIPU implementation • PERN has provided interconnectivity of 56+ universities with state of art connectivity infrastructure. • What is Next??
What is Next? • Intra-grid environments development as proof of concepts • Small scale projects – an Initiative • R & D Projects • Software Development Projects • Formation of SIGs • Collaborative implementation of Grid Infrastructure using standard hardware, software and PERN as networking backbone. • Resources & Infrastructure Identification, Feasibility Analysis, MoU, and documentation between participating universities”. • Work on core grid computing research areas such as Resources Management, Quality of Service, Scheduling, Security and Open services architecture. • Testing Grid implementation between universities • Identification, Analysis, Design and Development of Grid based computation and data intensive projects of national interest. • Establishment of foundation for further research.
Conclusion • Creating Virtual Research and Collaborative environment • Utilizing scattered computational and data resources across Pakistan, specially remote areas • To bring students and faculty of remote area universities into mainstream of research. • To balance the IT infrastructure requirements. • Public Private Universities collaboration • Academia-Industry Liaison Components
