  1. European Grid Infrastructure EGI support for scientific communities Gergely Sipos EGI.eu Technical Outreach Manager gergely.sipos@egi.eu Joint agINFRA and SCI-BUS workshop Budapest, 30/May/2013

  2. Outline • EGI overview • Strategic activities, contributors, users • Services for scientific communities • Software services and frameworks • Computing and storage services (grid & cloud) • User support & community building • Summary

  3. European Grid Infrastructure • European • Over 35 countries • Grid • Secure sharing ofIT resources • Infrastructure • Computers (clusters) • Data • Applications • …. andbeyond!! • Technologies to • Federate resources • Access resources Coordinator: EGI.eu, Amsterdam

  4. EGI’s strategic activities Virtual Research Environments Community & Coordination • Integration & operation of scientific environments Operational Infrastructure • Governance • Communication(inreach, outreach) • Operate a European wide grid infrastructure • Build a federated cloud infrastructure

  5. EGI community: contributors • Grid and cloud technologies: • EMI, • IGE, • EDGI, ... EGI.eu • High level technologies: • SCI-BUS, • SHIWA, • MAPPER, • ... National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) Projects Legal entities Software + support (based on MoUs, SLAs) European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (CERN, EBI) • Science domain specific: • agINFRA, • wLCG, • WeNMR, • ScalaLife • HMRC, • ... • Linking infrastructures: • CHAIN • EUDAT • ...

  6.

Operation tools, dashboards Research infrastructure clusters

  7. EGI services forscientific communities NGI and EGI.eu Support Teams Individual researchers Useservices 1. Scientific applications Createservices 2 .Capacity (grid/cloud) Research collaborations 3.Application porting / hosting tools Operateservices 4. Collab. & communic. services Research infrastructures ... 5. Operation tools, dashboards Research infrastructure clusters

  8. Software services: http://appdb.egi.eu • Registered in EGI Applications Database http://appdb.egi.eu • Browse by scientific discipline or software type: middleware, workflow tool, science gateway, scientific application • Various types of access: • Via portal (username/pwd) • Register in a VO (X.509 cert) • Download to client side • ... • Interact • Follow updates (RSS, Atom) • Rate & Comment • Contact provider/supporter By type By discipline

  9. Community-specific Virtual Research Environments e.g. WS-PGRADE from SCI-BUS Science gateway (framework) Authentiation & Authorization App.porting tools Scientific applications Administrator Power User Basic User App.2 ... App.1 Local data (logs, authz, tmp, cache,...) Job / service management engine Data transfer engine Batch computing Service hosting EGI grid EGI Federated Cloud

  10. Example: MosGrid portalhttps://mosgrid.de/portal Authentication Job submission engine Data transfer engine HPC access with UNICORE • Quantum Chemical Calculations • based on approximated solutions of the Schrödinger equation • Average scalability • Gaussian, NWChem, Turbomole, … • Molecular Dynamics • based on forcefields describing molecular interactions • Good scalability • Gromacs, NWChem, Amber, … • Docking • Based on simplified forcefields • Excellent scalability • CADDSuite, FlexX, …

  11. Example: Digital library - gLibrary http://glibrary.ct.infn.it De Roberto, an Italian writer of the XIX/XX century, born in Naples, but spending his life in Catania (4) Browse (1) Digitalise (3) Catalogue+ Meta-data 3TByte in total TIFF (100MB/A3 page) PDF (40-400MB/work) (2) Store

  12. Example: IGI Portal for the EGI Federated Cloud (portal.italiangrid.it, http://go.egi.eu/cloud) Domain specific service inside a Virtual Machine

  13. Recent trends in Virtual Research Environments • More specialised VREs (each with a small nb. of users) • Mixed grid and cloud use • Transparent auth: • Robot certificates • Identity federations • Mobile access • Entry point on Facebook • Africa Grid Science Gateway(based on Catania SG Framework)

  14. Operation Tools & dashboards Services to operate Research Infrastructure services... NGI-EGI services: • Service registry • Accounting • Service Availability Monitor • Helpdesk Research infrastructure Scientificservices Service Community portals Service Service Service Registry Accounting Monitoring Heldesk Operation portals Local NGIs Infrastructureservices

  15. Human support network http://www.egi.eu/about/ngis/ • NGI: single point of contact as regards ICT services for e-science. • Manage the computing resources and support services provided to the European Grid Infrastructure. • Has named contact for: • Support (User) • Operation (Infrastructure) • International liaison

  16. Community building • Virtual Team projects • Short (up to 6 month) project with multiple NGIs involved • Setup through NGI international liaisons by EGI.eu • https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Virtual_Team_Projects • Current VT projects that build Research Communities: • NGI - ELIXIR ESFRI collaboration (Started in October) • Technology study for CTA ESFRI (Started in January) • Towards a Chemistry, Molecular & Materials Science and Technology Virtual Research Community (Started in February)

  17. Summary • EGI is based on a federated model • NGIs and various projects provide resources and support • Established grid, emerging cloud infrastructure • EGI is not just computing and storage • Ready-to-use scientific applications • Application porting and hosting frameworks, portals • Infrastructure operation tools and dashboards • Human support network EGI and SCI-BUS helps the agINFRA community evolve
