  1. State of Grid Computing in the Philippines Rhia Trogo De La Salle University-Manila PHILIPPINES trogor@dlsu.edu.ph

  2. Grid Computing • Part of the 8-point agenda • Efforts to develop a national grid • Applications in Bioinformatics and Physics

  3. Key Players • Advanced Science and Technology – Department of Science and Technology • De La Salle University – Manila • University of the Philippines • Ateneo De Manila University

  4. Efforts in Grid Computing • Philippines Grid Initiative http://www.pregi.net • Philippine Research and Government Information Network

  5. PREGINET • Nationwide broadband network • Links academic, research, and government institutions in the Philippines • Interconnects institutions for research and education activities and spearheads the development of applications on areas such as distance education, telemedicine, agriculture, disaster monitoring and network technologies.

  6. PREGINET Infrastructure

  7. PREGINET on E-Learning • SOI-Asia • Open Academy of Philippine Agriculture /Agricultural Extension Techniques • Science and Math Teachers’ Training

  8. Philippine Grid Computing Program • Establish and maintain high throughput computing facility • Organize an advisory committee that will develop a roadmap on HTC • Build capability in grid computing by attending relevant workshops and conferences • Develop and conduct courses relevant on grid and cluster computing • Connect to the international grid community

  9. Philippine e-Science Grid Program • Build infrastructure • Train people • Find collaborators Current activities: De La Salle University: Comparative research on different national grids, their frameworks and interoperability for recommendation for national grid

  10. Grid Computing Priorities • Bioinformatics • Disaster Mitigation

  11. Agricultural Biotechnology • Molecular Markers • Discovery of important genes • Plant transgenesis • More researches: • University of the Philippines Los Baños • PhilRice • IRRI

  12. Medical Bioinformatics • Population Screening • Drug Discovery • Outbreak detection • Disease Characterization • Vaccine Development • More researches: University of the Philippines Manila and Diliman, St. Luke’s Medical Center, University of Sto. Tomas, UniLab

  13. Disaster Mitigation • Weather prediction • Typhoon tracking • Rainfall Prediction and monitoring • Natural hazards mapping (Landslides) • Environmental Monitoring with Sensor Networks • Remote Sensing and GIS

  14. Weather Forecasting • PICWIN Project (PAGASA Interactive Climate and Weather Information Network) • The project had three components: • Networking • Synoptic Station Reporting • HPC Facility • Use of a cluster computer for weather forecasting • 2 GB of data generated everyday • Twice-daily forecasts readily available on the PAGASA webpage • May contribute excess computing power for the Grid

  15. Collaborations • Philippine-Taiwan Roundtable Discussion on S&T Cooperation, December 12-13, 2006 • ASEAN, APEC, ASEM • Joining APROC • More collaborations are welcome!
