  1. This presentation will probably involve audience discussion, which will create action items. Use PowerPoint to keep track of these action items during your presentation • In Slide Show, click on the right mouse button • Select “Meeting Minder” • Select the “Action Items” tab • Type in action items as they come up • Click OK to dismiss this box • This will automatically create an Action Item slide at the end of your presentation with your points entered. Asia Pacific BioGRID initiative A/P Tan Tin Wee, Mark De Silva, Lim Kuan Siong – Bioinformatics Centre, National Univ of Singapore Ong Guan Sin guansin@bic.nus.edu.sg – Singapore Management UniversityRaj Buyya – Monash UniversityRaj Godhia – Cray Inc APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  2. Background • 1998 - APBioNet project created a distributed database mirror which was to evolve into the basis for a DataGrid • Progress was slow – until Oct 2001, the first BioGRID meeting was organised in Singapore by BIC-NUS and APBioNet • In Dec 2001, Cray Inc was involved inpartnering us in setting up a SuperBioGRID'02 symposium • Momentum was set and first GRID was created before Christmas 2001!

  3. BioGRID Components Web Interface BioGRID Bio Applications (MBOSS, PHYLIB) Bio Applications (MBOSS, PHYLIB) Globus-aware Scheduler (Nimrod-G) Globus-aware Scheduler (Nimrod-G) Globus Globus OS OS CPU CPU APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  4. BioGRID Architecture CRAY SV1 – 8 x CPUs GRID Host SGI 3200 Irix GRID Host Linux – P-III 800MHz GRID Host/GIIS/MDS Sun UltraSPARC Solaris GRID Host Linux cluster – 14xP-III 800MHz GRID Host (Sun GridEngine) APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  5. Software Components • Currently Globus 1.1.3/1.1.4 is the building block to the BioGRID, on the following OS platforms: • Cray Unicos SV1 • SGI IRIX 6.5 • Sun Solaris 7 • Linux 2.4.x (Redhat 7.2 and Slackware 8) • Various scheduling systems are studied and deployed, including Nimrod/G from Monash University, LSF and Sun GridEngine. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  6. Software Components (cont.) • Various bioinformatics and biological applications with high computation and suitable for GRID will be/are deployed: EMBOSS, EMBASSY, PHYLIB, etc. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  7. Collaboration and Projects • The BioGRID is being expanded to collaborate with GRID resources of Monash University in their VLAB project. • WE ARE LOOKING FOR COLLABORATION PARTNERS TO EXCHANGE RESOURCES. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  8. Operations and Support • We run our own CA: • Signing and issuance of both host and user certificates. • Shorter turn-around time for APBioGRID participants • Support email: • Grid-ca@bic.nus.edu.sg: cert requests • Grid-admin@bic.nus.edu.sg: administrative requests/support APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  9. In the Pipeline • Globus self-installer with customisations for APBioGRID: • Well tested installation scripts for a defined set of OS platforms • Automate configuration steps with BioGRID specifics • No need to deal with “Globus nightmare” - even a biologist can do it. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  10. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002

  11. In the Pipeline (cont.) • Regional support forum for BioGRID participants, bioinformaticians and biologists. APGrid Core Meeting Phuket 2002
