Swedish participation in Data Grid and Nordu Grid

Swedish participation in Data. Grid and Nordu. Grid 1 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Sweden in the Data. Grid Ø Swedish participation in the EU Data. Grid project is enabled through VR and CERN - the partners in the Data. Grid project. Ø The Nordu. Grid testbed acts as a link between the activities, providing an appropriate infrastructure. 2 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

WP 2 Data Management Ø PDC (KTH, Stockholm): Grid Data Management Work Package (WP 2). Working on issues like secure infrastructure and access. Contact: Per Öster 3 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

WP 6 Testbed Ø Lund University (and in future Stockholm and Uppsala): through the Nordu. Grid project, participate in the Testbed and Demonstrators Work Package (WP 6). Activity involves configuring computing farms to be the part of the Data. Grid testbed. Contact: Oxana Smirnova 4 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

WP 8 HEP Applications Ø Universities of Lund, Stockholm and Uppsala: involved in the HEP Applications Work Package (WP 8), through participation in the ATLAS experiment. Contacts: Oxana Smirnova, Tord Ekelöf, Sten Hellman 5 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

WP 10 Biology Applications Ø Uppsala University, Karolinska Institute (Stockholm): working for the Biology Applications Work Package (WP 10). KI is involved in genomics, esp. data mining in distributed databases. In Uppsala, Linnaeus Centre for Bioinformatics is involved in genome sequencing, requiring also distributed databases. Contacts: Siv Andersson (UU), Gunnar Norstedt (KI) 6 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Status of the Data. Grid Ø The project was launched in January 2001, with the first workshop being held in March (Amsterdam, together with the Global Grid Forum). The second workshop will be in July (Oxford, UK) Ø The first milestone, so-called Project Month 6 (PM 6) is reached, with the following progress achieved: 7 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Data. Grid: today v. Testbed 0 participants and sites are defined (12 participants, ca. 50 sites, including Nordu. Grid) v. Short-term use-cases to be executed at the Testbed. Use-cases defined by the LHC experiments and other participants v. Code-writing started at the corresponding WP's (scheduling, data management etc) v. Architecture Task Force report is in progress, user requirements are collected, and deliverables for the Project Month 9 (PM 9) are being defined 8 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Data. Grid: tomorrow Ø The major milestone of PM 9 is expected to have some of the necessary toolkits, services and other software delivered (betaversions) for testing Ø Most of the software packages will be released not earlier than PM 12 (glitches in the original planning) 9 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Status of the Nordu. Grid Ø The Nordu. Grid project has a purpose to create a Nordic branch of the Data. Grid, and proceeds in a close contact with the latter Ø The project is financed via the Nordunet 2 programme, and started in January 2001 Ø Nordu. Grid testbed is a part of the Data. Grid Testbed Workpackage (WP 6) 10 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Nordu. Grid: sites & people Ø Three dedicated postdoc positions are set up: Ø Lund: Balázs Kónya (support for Lund and Copenhagen clusters), started on May 1 Ø Uppsala: Mattias Ellert (Uppsala. Stockholm-Helsinki), started on June 1 Ø Oslo: Aleksandr Konstantinov (Oslo. Bergen), to start on June 15 11 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Nordu. Grid: resources Ø Farms in Lund and Copenhagen are configured (Globus, Open. PBS batch scheduler); simple tests done; farms are ready to execute realistic tasks Ø Uppsala, Ko. Su. Fy in Lund: have Globus enabled at stand-alone PC’s, connectivity tested Ø Nordic Certification Authority (CA) is set up at the NBI (Copenhagen), being also a part of the Data. Grid CA's 12 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001

Nordu. Grid: next steps Ø Ko. Su. Fy (Lund) may join Nordu. Grid: 80 CPU farm, to be one of the biggest single farms in Data. Grid Ø HEP applications: to go from local batch submission to Globus; installation of the ATLAS toolkit for the short-term usecase Ø Include biology applications (genomics in UU and KI), - contacts are being established 13 Paula Eerola SWEGRID meeting, 11. 6. 2001
