Update Tiramisu ProgramLGC – GDB, Karlsruhe M. Benard – HP University Relations March 8th, 2004
HP University Relations Mission To deliver talent, technology and sales opportunities to Hewlett-Packard by fostering university relationships worldwide that integrate HP investments in research, recruiting, philanthropy and public advocacy “HP isthe partner of choice for the world's leading universities”
HP University Relations Deliverables • Technology Programs - intellectual capital and HP market- and technology-leadership. • University Relationships - integrated engagement at target universities aligned with key HP priorities. • External Advocacy - advancement of forward-looking positions on higher-education issues.
HP University Relations • Current Technology Programs: • Gelato: Linux/Itanium Federation (www.gelato.org) • Tiramisu: Grid Computing active participations • Digital publishing • Life Sciences
Tiramisu Objectives Establish HP Grid worldwide reference portfolio to a critical mass needed for credibility in Utility Computing: • Participate in a few major operational Grids • Make meaningful Benchmarks • Scale-up and Get Critical Mass • Cover several Applications (HEP, BioInformatics, Digital Media, Digital Publishing, etc.) • Get Credibility in Utility Computing
First Milestones for Tiramisu in 2002 • Program planning beginning 2002 • Program approved and launched in June 2002 (HPLPA) • Inventory of Grids worldwide completed in Sept 2002 • Selection of TeraGrid (DTF, later ETF) and CERN Grid (DataGrid, later EGEE/LCG) – Views on A/P • Partnerships with CERN and PSC established end 2002
Further Results for Tiramisu in 2003 • CERN Grid (DataGrid, EGEE and LCG) • HP Itanium cluster at CERN – Excellent R&D team on site • Leading edge I/O benchmarks with 10 Gbps Challenge • HP will participate in 2004 to CERN LHC Computing Grid • TeraGrid (ETF) • HP clusters and collaborations at PSC, NCSA, Caltech, ANL • Collaboration under discussion with SDSC • Itanium architecture is a major player in the ETF (I/O success) • ChinaGrid and A/P • Start of discussions with Univ. Tsinghua, Fudan and Zeijang • Significant activity from November 2003 (Singapore, China)

Why is HP participating to the CERN LCG? LCG is an OPERATIONAL Grid: • LCG will be one of the first Operational Grids (24x7) • Operations starting in 2004 with about 20 sites • Bottom-up approach in software • Pragmatic view with milestones in 2004 and 2006 • Total supply capacity: 100’000 PCs for 20 PB data • Several applications targeted to run on EGEE/LCG: Physics, Bio Informatics, Digital Media, Digital Publishing
Tiramisu in 2004 • HP Participation to the CERN LCG (announced Jan 26): • Tests beginning 2004 between CERN, HP Labs (Bristol, Palo Alto), HP Puerto Rico (Hub) and HP Brazil • LCG operations starting during 2004 with HP sites • Applications targeted on EGEE: HEP, Digital Media & Publishing • HP Work with ETF members: • On going contacts with PSC, NCSA, Caltech and ANL • Collaboration starting with SDSC • Purdue – Digital Publishing Grid with Puerto Rico • Connect HP sites to these Grids, continue benchmarks and make Utility Computing cases.
HP participation in EGEE/LCG • HP potential contributions to LCG: • Nodes (300+ CPUs in P. Rico, UDC in HPL, 100+ CPUs in Brazil) • Software tools (Grid, Market SW for resource allocations, etc.) • Manpower for tests and operations (Hub: Puerto Rico) • Scale-up potential in Singapore, China and other geographies • Industrial applications for EGEE: • Digital Media (Rendering) • Digital Publishing • BioInformatics • Potential to help to take leadership in Grid software (bottom-up approach)
