RTD efforts in Europe by Kyriakos Baxevanidis EU

RTD efforts in Europe by Kyriakos Baxevanidis EU CERN • Foster cohesion, interoperability, crossfertilization of knowledge, economies of scale • Increase value • Multiply impact National Krakow 2001 1

Examples of large National efforts CERN UK - e. Science Programme (£ 80 M) Italy - INFN Grid (25 M Euros) Netherlands - Dutch. Grid Germany - Unicore plus France - Grid funding approved Ireland - Grid-Ireland Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic - seed funding Krakow 2001 2

Current IST effort on Grids § CERN Main on-going projects: Data. Grid, EUROGRID, DAMIEN Six new initiatives are starting (Grid. Lab, GRIA, GRIP, Data. TAG, EGSO, Cross. Grid) ~Є35 m IST-funding for above initiatives - the main underlying connectivity platform § US Canada Japan Є80 m EC funding 10 Gbit/s 2, 5 Gbit/s <2, 5 Gbit/s Krakow 2001 3

Major Infrastructure deployments Examples: CERN • Infrastructure across 17 European States • Cross-Atlantic link 1. DATAGRID, CROSSGRID, DATATAG Application requirements: • Computing > 20 TFlops/s • Downloads > 0. 5 PBytes/day (2 Gbit/s) 2. EUROGRID, GRIP Image courtesy EUROGRID project • Network speeds at 10 Gbit/s Image courtesy Data. Grid project • Collaborations of more than 2000 scientists • Infrastructure across 6 European States Links to National Grid • Industrial design, simulations infrastructures (as well as scientific applications) • Globus - Unicore interface Application requirements: Krakow 2001 • Real-time, Resource brokerage, Portals, Coupled applications 5

Major impact to Application Communities § Virtual collaboratories lead to new work models & application community structures. § In IST: § § § High Energy Physics Earth & Space Observation Environment, Weather forecast Bio-sciences and Health Industrial design/simulation/visualization ASP Bio-Sciences Krakow 2001 CERN-LHC ESA EADS-Aerospace 6

Commercial Perspectives CERN Grid concepts address industry concerns, like: § Resources ‘on demand’, resource brokerage (x. SP) § Direct communication between applications / transparent access to each other (P 2 P) § Internet/distributed computing & simulations (industrial design & verification) § Connection of greater range of access facilities to the internet (the non -PC Internet market) Examples of areas addressed in IST: § ASP services for industrial HPC-service users § Virtual digital studio (film industry) § Distributed computing/simulations for industrial design & verification (automotive, aerospace) Krakow 2001 7

A new IST Action-line for year 2002 CERN CPA 9: “GRID Technologies & their applications” § § § Maintain current focus in solving complex scientific application problems address new disciplines Interoperability, Standards, Infrastructures Put new emphasis on: Fast uptake across many industrial & commercial applications (e. g. Peer-to. Peer) Knowledge Grids (e. g. links to Semantic Web) Demonstration & Training facilities Accompanying Measures, Social aspects International participation is encouraged in IST Krakow 2001 8
