1. IDGFInternationalDesktopGridFederation RUSSIAN CHAPTER OF INTERNATIONAL DESKTOP GRID FEDERATION: ACHIEVEMENTS, CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTIVES Mikhail Posypkin DEGISCO project DEGISCO is supported by the FP7 Capacities Programme under contract nr RI-261561.

2. PRESENTATION PLAN • Intro to Desktop Grid Computing • Desktop Grids in Russia: Current State • DEGISCO project and International Desktop Grid Federation • Russian Chapter of IDGF • Conclusion

3. WHAT“DESKTOP GRIDS” ARE • Use free CPU cycles • Volunteer computing • Use master-slave model of distributed computation • Major technologies: • BOINC • XTREMWEB-HEP • OURGRID • CONDOR • X-COM • SARD

4. DESKTOP GRIDS BENEFITS STRONG POINTS WEAK POINTS • Restricted area of application: coarse grain master-slave • Complex technology • Low w.r.t. supercomputers efficieincy • Low-cost: DGs are leaders in terms of Flops/$ • Reuse of existing resources • Ease of setup and maintenance • DGs are “Green” NOT a REPLACEMENT for SUPECOMPUTERS/SERVICE GRIDS/ CLOUDS

5. DESKTOP GRID ACTIVITY IN RUSSIA • ISA RAS: OPTIMA@home, DG technology, tools for performance monitoring, dissemination and user support • ISDCT SB RAS: SAT@home • KRC RAS: Useful tools (BOINC portal), DG based data mining, dissemination • BOINC.RU – Russian team of BOINC Volunteers • Other teams not mentioned here…

17. KRC RAS: BOINC BASED DATA MINING Based on Partition algorithm , the special BOINC-based software has been developed in High-performance Data Center of Karelian Research Centre, RAS (HpDC) for discovering associative rules in large data sets. The software performs three stages of data processing with two points of synchronization. The software includes a client's software and the following developed BOINC's services: work generator, scheduler and assimilator. Also it uses the single MySQL database to store workunits.

20. DEGISCO FP7 PROJECT Main objective: Expand European DCIs into ICPC countries by supporting the creation of new Desktop grids for e-Science in those countries and in Europe and by connecting them using the EDGeS bridge technology. Support applications on this expanded infrastructure, disseminate, promote and provide training about this expanded infrastructure and its usage.

21. International Desktop Grid Federation • The International Desktop Grid Federation (IDGF) brings together organisations and persons interested in Desktop grid computing and related technologies. • Focuses on application developers and Desktop grid operators. • IDGF is a member organisation that provides services for its members (legally: participants). • IDGF brings them together, so they can get better information, documentation and training, a platform to exchange experiences. • IDGF serves as a marketing channel for its members

22. The Goals of Russian Chapter • Help Russian research and industry teams to develop, deploy and maintain their desktop-grid distributed applications • Maintain DCI infrastructures for our projects and for other organizations • Provide courses and tutorials on desktop grids and volunteer computing for Russian academic and industrial community • Promote Russian BOINC projects • Explain the mission of IDGF and benefits of the membership

23. The Future of Russian Chapter • Maintain and improve Web-site desktopgrid.ru • Dissemination activity: • Tracks • Tutorials • Courses • Papers • Create “Umbrella” project for Russian BOINC applications • International collaboration

24. The Future of Russian Chapter • Joint Activity (development) • BOINC Web-portal (easy application deployment and job submission) • Scientific Gateways • Supporting interoperability: Bridges • Messaging service for BOINC • Alternative DG systems • ….
