  1. The DutchGrid Platform Large-scale Distributed Computing in the Netherlands DutchGrid today and tomorrow David Groep, NIKHEF 2003-07-03

  2. DutchGrid • Open “platform” of interested parties • Goals • Expertise coordination • Provide core national services • Developer and end-user support • Test bed • Dissemination • Currently 12 organisations and growing

  3. Participants • From related projects & interested organisations • Resource and service providers: Natl. Computing Facilities Foundation Distributed ASCI Supercomputer-2 own test beds, EDG services WTCW Virtual Lab / VL E-Science

  4. Participants contd • Many more on application side: bio informatics medical imaging meteo &climate (radio) astronomyVLBI e-business materials science

  5. Some Applications • Virtual Laboratorycomprehensive analysis environments for experimentation • Chemo-physical surface analysis (PIXE,FT-IR,SIMS) • correlating “omics” databases • Virtual Surgery (planning by-passes, artery repairs) • Particle Physics DØ, Atlas, LHCb, AliceCommon Application Layer: Monte-Carlo and Analysis • OPERA– KNMI:ozone monitoring and mapping space data integration and validation • (radio) AstronomyLOFAR, AVO, VLBI – semi-online and offline processing

  6. Services • Authentication Service (CA) • Serves entire NL scientific communityDataGrid, CrossGrid, VL-E, DAS-2, … • Member of EDG CACG PMA • Support Desk • Installation support • End-user help desk • gives insight in requirements and real needs • Tutorials • Test bed coordination

  7. Test Bed Resources • ASCI ‘DAS-2’ systems (university CS) • 400 CPUs, homogeneous clusters at 5 sites • NIKHEF and LCG test bed • 150 CPUs • 3 TByte disk cache • NCF Grid Initiative • Fabric Research: 66 systems • Production setup: 64 CPUs • Network research  10 Gb/s • Storage access

  8. Resources cntd • SARA: the national HPC centre • Tape-based mass store: 500 TByte • 30 GByte disk cache • 1024 CPU SGI Origin 3800 MPP • Summary • ~ 8 people in deployment and operations • Match infrastructures to real application usage
