CUDI-MX REACCIUN-VE RAAP-PE RNP-BR REUNA-CL The Network in Latin America
EU-LAC Summit EELA 1st Conference Research approach, Methodology EELA is one of the most important customers of RedCLARA!
EELA in one slide • Researchers willing to perform their activities regardless of their geographical location, interact with colleagues, share and access data. • The Pilot Test-bed: Resource Centres in EU and LA are "glued" by the EGEE middleware. • Applications and scientific data (HEP, Biomed, e-Learning, Climate, etc.)
Approach • Build a bridge between consolidated e-Infrastructure initiatives in Europe and emerging ones in Latin American • Create a collaboration network to deploy a large portfolio of scientific applications on a well supported Pilot Test-bed • Care in parallel of the training in grid technologies and of the knowledge dissemination and outreach • Co-funded by European Commission: • 1.7 M€ • 0.4 M€ (CIEMAT) • 0.5 M€ (partners counterpart)

Geo-distribution of Resources Centers ~ 1100 CPUs ~ 60 TB storage stand-alone Grid site EELA countries

The First EELA GRID School (EGRIS-1) • 2 weeks devoted to learn how to “gridify” applications • 8 applications selected and 7 gridified (e-Learning, climate, biomed and optimization) • 66 nodes, 4 sites + 10 Mbits/s connection installed in an island
Tutorial statistics: number of attendees • 9 Tutorials + ROC-on-Duty + Grid School (EGRIS-1) • 500 participants enrolled • Side effect: formation of Local Training Teams in many LA countries
Brazil Chile Peru Mexico EU Colombia Ecuador Nicaragua Venezuela El Salvador Survey of Communities: 2006 results • 46 LA communities • 5 European communities from France, Luxembourg, Spain, UK MoUs with new institutions have already been signed http://www.eu-eela.org/eela_new_communities_form.php
Applications • 13 running applications (9 developed by EELA) • Applications to address particular LA issues Malaria studies El Niño Phenomenon E-learning
Summary and Conclusions • EELA is completely changing the perspective about e-Science in Latin America; • This not only because of the number of grid sites, or CPUs, or Terabytes, but rather because: • we are "building" the human network creating/fostering scientific collaborations across the Atlantic; • we are raising the awareness of new ways of doing (e-)Science; • we are putting the seed for a long term sustainability of e-Infrastructures in the Region.
