  3. EGI • European • Over 35 countries • Grid • Secure sharing • Collaboration • Infrastructure • Computers • Data • Instruments • …. and beyond!! Project Presentation – May 2012

  4. What is EGI? • European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) • Federation of National Grid Infrastructures • Represented by EGI.eu (Dutch foundation) • National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) • Sole national point of contact for Grids and Clouds • Integrates individual resource centres • Current Status: • 35+ NGIs & 350+ resource centres • 300,000 CPUs & 200PB+ storage Project Presentation – May 2012

  5. EGI Resource Infrastructure Providers - RPs(April 2012) Project Presentation – May 2012

  6. EGI Resource Centres(April 2012) Project Presentation – May 2012

  7. Vision - Mission • To support the digital European Research Area through a pan-European research infrastructure based on an open federation of reliable services that provide uniform access to national computing, storage and data resources. • To connect researchers from all disciplines with the reliable and innovative ICT services they need to undertake their collaborative world-class and world-spanning research Project Presentation – May 2012

  28. Grid Use Cases These case studies show some of the advantages of using the grid: • allows world-wide multi-disciplinary collaboration; • integrate distributed resources into a single whole; • customised grid services to meet the unique demands of researchers; • reliable service for computation, data transfer and storage of large data sets; • reduced analysis time and analysis on-demand; • scientifically useful results are generated more quickly; • long term support; • sharing sensitive data securely among a trusted community; • allows member institutions to contribute computing power to the community; • generate data-intensive stimulations in a shorter amount of time; • reduce technical workload (by following grid standards), so scientists can concentrate more effort on the science Project Presentation – May 2012 30/05/2011 Project Presentation - May 2011

  29. Use Case: Large Hadron Collider • World’s largest particle accelerator • Supports 8,000 researchers • 1 billion CPU hours in the last 12 months • 15Pb of data created annually • Data ‘parked’ for later analysis Project Presentation – May 2012

  30. Use Case: Large Hadron Collider Some advantages of using the grid: • allows worldwide mass collaboration with thousands of physicists; • customisedgrid services to meet the unique demands of the experiments; • large data storage facility; • physicists can access the data using their own computer locally. Project Presentation – May 2012

  31. Use Case: New viruses • VIDISCA-454, new method to find new viruses from genetic material • Runs on grid computing thanks to customised workflows, allowing researchers to save time. • E.g. a test with 1444 samples produced 4,783,684 genetic sequences and was analysed in 14 hours. (Local server would need 17 days) • The method was used to identify a new type of coronavirus • Results published in Nature Medicine Many children suffer from respiratory diseases caused by unknown viruses http://go.egi.eu/virus Project Presentation – May 2012

  32. Use Case: The epigonion • The epigonion was the guitar of Ancient Greece – how did it sound? • DomenicoVincinanza recreated the sound of its 48 strings as digital files, using the grid-enabled ASTRA platform • It took him just a few hours - in a single core he would need a month. • The epigonion’s sounds can now be downloaded and played by any musician using a simple keyboard. Stories from the Grid, episode 2 The Epigonion (video) http://go.egi.eu/epigonion Project Presentation – May 2012

  33. Use Case: ITER • Investigating viability of fusion as a power source • Modelling and simulating the reactor • Used 1 million CPU hours in the last 12 months Project Presentation – May 2012

  34. Use Case: ITER Some advantages of using the grid: • perform the intensive computations needed to test the feasibility of fusion power before building the reactor; • open to future development: dedicated project ‘EUPHORIA’ was set up to further push the limits of existing state-of-the-art computing resources. Project Presentation – May 2012

  35. Use Case: DECIDE • Diagnostic Enhancement of Confidence by an International Distributed Environment • Diagnostic tools for the medical community • Example: Their Statistical Parametric Mapping application can help doctors to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages and track the progress of the symptoms over time Project Presentation – May 2012

  36. Use Case: DECIDE Some advantages of using the grid: • a single European-wide master database of images stored on the grid for doctors to use; • can set up diagnostic tools with a dedicated grid infrastructure; • customisable: dedicated software to track progression of the disease over time; • sharing medical data securely. Project Presentation – May 2012

  37. Use Case: Earthquakes • Earthquakes are caused by seismic waves that propagate as ripples on a pond • By studying how seismic waves travel it’s possible to predict how a site will respond to an earthquake • The Finite-Difference (FD) method simulates wave propagation by solving differential equations • But building one accurate model means solving millions of equations! • Grid computing allows scientists to solve the equations in parallel, saving time and resources. • The concept was applied in Thessaloniki, Greece. • The model helps local authorities to prepare the regional responseto earthquakes Earthquakes are not predictable, but their effects can be mitigated by modelling and planning http://go.egi.eu/thess Project Presentation – May 2012

  38. Use Case: CTA • The Cherenkov Telescope Array • Future ground-based high energy gamma-ray instrument • 132 institutes in 25 countries • Using applications and grid technology provided by the European grid Project Presentation – May 2012

  39. Use Case: CTA Some advantages of using the grid: • allows member institutions to contribute computing power to the CTA community; • generate data-intensive stimulations in a shorter amount of time; • reduce technical workload (by following grid standards), so scientists can concentrate more effort on the science.
