  1. Romanian Physics Grid: recent progress and outlook Florin D. Buzatu Horia Hulubei National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering Bucharest - Romania NEC’2007, September 11, Varna - Bulgaria

  2. FOUR YEARS AGO: NEC’03 Topics Progress regarding: - national Grid strategy - network infrastructure - particle physics Grid (LCG) - participation to SEE-GRID(2) Plans for the future

  3. NATIONAL GRID STRATEGY IN ROMANIA The Task Force for the National Grid Infrastructure (NGI) Created through the decision of the National Authority for Scientific Research (NASR), in July 2005 Members: the Ministry of Education and Research, the Ministry of External Affairs, 7 universities, 7 research institutions, the National Research and Education Network RoEduNet. Goal: to promote a strategic plan to be implemented by the pilot project “Implementation of the National Grid Infrastructure”. Guiding lines: open infrastructure, compatible with those existing in EU; exploitation of the internal production of scientific software; balanced investments between: networking / Grid hard&soft infrastructure / application software development

  4. Objectives of the strategic plan Gradual and balanced development of the NGI based on centers of competence and reuse of the results provided by (inter)national cooperation Integration of the information society into a virtual global environment which - increases scientific potential & capacities for applied software development - ensures new resources for the research field - extends the impact of research results in economics and society Promotion of new specific Grid technologies in Romania - focusing the academic, research and business communities towards the new virtual global environment - training and specialization of the human resources - supporting the transition towards the new system Development of the data communications segment for the Romanian Grid framework.

  5. Recent developments NASR, as Funding Agency, has signed the Memorandum of Understanding for Collaboration in the Deployment and Exploitation of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (MoU), with CERN (2006) The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) has applied for Certification Authority (CA) to EuGRIDPMA, according to the decision of NASR (operational soon) An agreement between the Romanian Government and the Government of Hungary concerning the cooperation in Grid infrastructure has been signed RoEduNet applied the SEELIGHT project in the frame of the HiPERB program, and NASR will support the co-financing Funding: project based financial support only, no institutional financing Programmes: CEEX - Centres of Excellence Structural Funds (2007-2013) National Plan for R&D and Innovation (PNCDI-2)

  6. NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE - RoEduNet RoEduNet = organization and layered data communication system Layer 0 backbone links (including international) and 7 RoEduNet Network Operation Centers (NOCs): headquarter (Bucharest) + 6 regional NOCs Layer 1: 33 RoEduNet Points of Presence (PoPs) from county capitals + communication lines between NOCs and PoPs. Layer 2: institutions connected to RoEduNet - research institutions, universities, (high) schools, hospitals, other education related non-profit institutions Connectivity International: to GEANT 2 x STM4 circuits (1.244 Gbps) to RENAM (Republic of Moldova) 34 Mbps National: inter NOCs - at least 1 Gbps NOC to POPs - 10 Mbps up to 30 Mbps

  7. Results and plans for 2007 Separation of international and national backbone connections in the national NOC (new data center) Expected results of DANTE’s tender for dark fiber (DF) or lambda connectivity to Bucharest SEELight project (regional funds) started, with the main goal to provide DF connectivity to Hungary and Bulgaria (apart from GEANT connection) Upgrade of the production link Bucharest - Budapest to 10 Gbps Start a pilot link for the SEELight project by planned connection Sofia - - Bucharest Start of the RoEduNet2 project: Stage 1: DF connections and DWDM equipments between Bucharest and four main cities (Cluj, Iasi, Galati, Craiova)

  8. Networking - Long term plans Finalize RoEduNet2 project to provide: At least 2x10 Gbps connections between NOCs At least 1 Gbps connections between NOCs and POPs Redundancy for all connections inter NOCs and NOCs - PoPs Organize the national headquarter and only 4 main NOCs Implement new services: Lambda on demand for national connectivity National VoIP for education and research Full support for multicast applications Implement lambda based logical network for Grid activities Provide lambda based of DF connectivity for Black Sea region to GEANT using owned national communication infrastructure

  9. PARTICLE PHYSICS GRID IN ROMANIA Once upon a time … (2003) Long term collaboration with CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments: ALICE ATLAS LHCb Participation to the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) project

  10. WLCG COLLABORATION WLCG = Worldwide LHC Computing Grid Purpose: to provide the computing resources needed to process and analyze the data gathered by the Large Hadron Collider experiments. Strategy: smaller Grid centers should form federations in order to jointly comply with the minimal levels-of service criteria for an LCG Tier centre. The existing LCG sites in Romania united in a national federation to form together a Tier-2 centre The Romanian Authority for Scientific Research has signed the MoU in March 2006, as Funding Agency of the Romanian Tier-2 Federation.
