Agenda Motivation R&D infrastructure in Europe and Israel Zisapel Committee ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

Back to the Future Computing may someday be organized as a public utility just as the telephone system is a public utility. . . The computer utility could become the basis of a new and important industry. "- John Mc. Carthy at " MIT's centennial celebrations 1961 ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

Needs and challenges Decouple Business and Operation Processing power (usually on-demand) Large storage with high throughput Support for virtual communities Operation integration (Out Sourcing, OFF-Shore) Service properties - SLA, security, HA/LB ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

§ Global challenges with high societal impact § Big Science and the role of “empowered” citizens § Data deluge… born digital material… virtual-labs § Cross-disciplinarity § Spread of skills and competences ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il Based on Mário Campolargo, EGEE 08

Sharing and federating scientific data Sharing computers, instruments and applications Linking at the speed of the light . . . . R&D facilities ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il Based Mário Campolargo, EGEE 08

When does it Grid ? Coordinates Distributed Resources Using standard, open, general -purpose protocols Deliver non-trivial qualities of service ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il Foster, Kesselman/The grid: Blue Print for a new Computing infrastructure

Key Cloud Services Attributes Off-Site, Thirds-party provider Access via Internet Minimal/no IT skills required to “implement” Provisioning = self-service requesting; near real-time deployment; dynamic & fine-grained scaling Fine-grained usage-based pricing model UI - browser and successors Web services APIs as System Interface Shared resources/common versions Source: IDC, Sep 2008 ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

ISRAGRID committee Forum for National R&D Infrastructure (TELEM) Members: David Horn (TAU), Julian Satran (IBM), Doron Havatzelet (MOD), Assaf Maron (BMC), Eliezer Rabinovici (HUJI), Yossi Matias (TAU, Google), Shuki Glaitman (AXC), co-ordinator: Avi Shavit. Final report submitted on July 2007. National Research Infrastructure approved the recommendations to establish the ISRAGRID. appointed Yehuda Zisapel on Jan 2007 to examine Grid infrastructure for Israel. ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

General recommendations Gain knowledge and train professional for the industry. Increase compute resources and improve their utilization for the benefit of the community Establish inter-organizational Grid in Israel Supply infrastructure for the Israeli and hi-tech ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il academia

Modus Operandi The network would be used for R&D and will be based on the existing NREN. Users will finance the establishment and operation of the GRID operation. All R&D entities will be invited to participate. The network will be available with secure access. Each partner will finance his own resources (to be shared) and connectivity to the NREN.

Services to be given Virtual Organization management Information services Certificate Authority (EUGrid. PMA, IGTF) Monitoring CERT Co-Ordination with grid projects and bodies Network infrastructure ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

Estimated budget $80, 000. 00, 3% $125, 000. 00, 5% $284, 000. 00, 11% $1, 200, 000. 00, 45% $873, 000. 00, 33% Communication Personnel Equipment Administration ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il Conferences Unplanned

ISRAGRID Administration ISRAGRID administration will be located in IUCC (local NREN) Skilled personnel will be hired to provide the needed services for all the users ISRAGRID is the Israeli official grid representative in international organizations. Establish and maintain VOs for all the users in Israel. Helping users to establish new sites and share resources Maintain the core services and grid related security. Each site in the ISRAGRID will contribute some resources for the benefit of all. ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

Network benefits Accessibility to vast amount of resources that were not accessible otherwise. Lowering processing cost by sharing resources Improve resources utilization by balancing between computation demands and (idle) resource availability. Parallel process in order to shorten the computing time. Establish user communities (VO) in Israel ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

Additional recommendations Academic teaching – The Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) Encourage Grid training in all institutes that acquire degrees in computer science or engineering have Grid research. Each University that will give 3 weekly hours course will get additional 100 K NIS The training will be done thru “Gilda” node that will be maintained by the administration. Academic research – National Science Fund (NSF) Allocate 3 -5 grants in domains related to grid computing (incl. parallel processing, game theory, queuing theory, internet etc. ) as long as they have clear association with the field. The grants application should be submitted according to the regular procedures of NSF and pass the needed academic committees. ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich http: //isragrid. org. il

European Grid Initiative • Permanent, common Grid infrastructure • Ensure the long-term sustainability of the European e. Infrastructure independent of short project funding cycles • Coordinate the integration and interaction between National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) • Operate the production Grid infrastructure on a European level for a wide range of R&D and scientific disciplines ISRAGRID – Eddie Aronovich 20 http: //isragrid. org. il e. IRG, Lisbon, 12 October 2007

From EGI Paper, Version 3. 2, August 2006: “Towards a European Infrastructure for e-Science” Vision of EGI Formation of National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) which unite efforts within each country, providing a single point of contact for coordinated efforts and reducing the management and organisational overhead of international cooperation around Grid computing. These national bodies will be complemented by a second structure, European Grid Initiative (EGI) coordinating issues on a European scale, including operations management, policy, standards and middleware testing. Such a structure addresses the key issue of long-term sustainability of the European Grid Infrastructure, ensuring the availability of Grid services to researchers from all backgrounds and disciplines as we move further into the 21 st century.
