GEM • Provide a tool for grid-enabled electro-magnetic optimisation for industrial use • DTI funded project • Industrial partner: Mesophotonics Ltd. • Next-generation photonic devices for high-speed optical communication
Integration Concept Knowledge Design Optimisation Computation Development Production Product DB Testing Result Process Application Business Maintenance Application Information Technology
Industrial Perspective • Functionality, robustness, effectiveness • Transparent integration (training) • Horizontal / Vertical Business Workflow • Reliability (availability, performance, security) • Manageability • International standards (Grid-services) • Interoperability (O/S independence) • Overall efficiency (cost of ownership)
G-Yacht • Yacht CFD and analysis tool • Industrial Partner: Wolfson Unit for Marine Technology and Industrial Aerodynamics (WUMTIA) • Americas Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and Vendee Globe • Experimental data CFD data
Vision “To develop a service to give remote access to yacht CFD and analysis tools via a Grid enabled Web portal allowing globally spread design teams to interact efficiently and effectively.”
Design Process y a x
Grid Technologies • Grid technology / Webservices • Condor • Microsoft .NET • IBM Websphere • Globus Toolkit • Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) • Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) • Extend applications with Grid access PC’s, Workstations,Cluster
Benefits of Grid Technology • Rapid prototyping less time-to-product • Collaborative / Restrictive Engineering • Use of Resources • In-house availability • Through services • Pay-per-use • Access to technology otherwise unavailable • Lower cost
