5. INDIGO:the goals • Partnership in LIGO-Australia • Advanced LIGO hardware for 1 detector shipped to Australia at the Gingin site, near Perth. NSF approval • Australia and International partners find funds (equiv to half the detector cost ~$200M) within a year. • Indian partnership at 15% with full data rights. • Consolidated IndIGO membership of LSC + propose creating a Tier-2 data centre for LSC in IUCAA • Provide a common umbrella to initiate and expand GW related experimental efforts • 3m prototype detector in TIFR (funded). Unnikrishnan • New IndIGO partners : Laser expt. IIT M, IIT K • UG summer internship at Intl GW labs & observatories.

6. IndIGO:Why is it a good idea? • Have a 20 year legacy and wide recognition in the Intl. GW community. (Would not make it to the GWIC report, otherwise!) • AIGO/LIGO/EGO strong interest in fostering Indian community • GWIC invitation to IndIGO join as member (Jul 2011) • Jump start direct participation in GW observations/astronomy • going beyond analysis methodology & theoretical prediction --- to full participation in data acquisition, analysis and astronomy results. • For once, may be perfect time to a launch into a promising field (GW astronomy) well before it has obviously blossomed. • Provides an exciting challenge at an International forefront of experimental science. Can tap and siphon back the extremely good UG students trained in India. (Sole cause of `brain drain’). • 1st yr summer intern 2010  MIT for PhD • Indian experimental scientist  Postdoc at LIGO training for Adv. LIGO subsystem • Scattered , small scale, individual experimental expertise related to GW observatories have a much better prospect to thrive under the INDIGO umbrella. (Easier to conceive, plan and implement in light of a major initiative) • Sendhil Raja, RRCAT, Anil Prabhakar, EE, IIT Madras, Pradeep Kumar, EE, IITK Photonics • Vacuum expertise with RRCAT , IPR (Ajai Kumar)

13. Maximum scientific exploitation requires data analysis to proceed at same rate as data acquisition Low latency analysis is needed if we want opportunity to provide alerts to astronomical community in the future Computers required for LIGO flagship searches Stochastic = 1 unit (3 GHz workstation day per day of data) Bursts = 50 Compact binary inspiral = 600 (BNS), 300 (BBH), 6,000 (PBH) ...... All sky pulsars = 1,000,000,000 (but can tolerate lower latency & ..... ) Why IndIGO Data Centre? Scientific pay-off is bounded by the ability to perform computations on the data.

14. IndIGO has world expertise in coherent analysis of gravitational wave data. This is the holy grail of GW data analysis with many advantages. • Archana Pai (IISER Tvm), Anand Sengupta (Univ. of Delhi) and K.G. Arun (CMI) have recently secured Indo-Japanese DST project for developing and testing efficient coherent methods to analyze GW data. • Niche area, would like to take lead in this • Real time zero-lag data analysis will require 10 TFlops of computation • Real time can mean months or years of continuous data • But this is not all we do with the data • X 100 passes for time slides (background estimation) • X 1000 passes for Monte Carlo injection studies, pipeline tuning • Target: Somewhere in the ball park of 100 Tflops. How big is big enough? Courtesy: Anand Sengupta

15. Need for a IndIGO data centre • Large Tier-2 data/compute centre for archival of g-wave data and analysis • Bring together data-analysts within the Indian gravity wave community. • Puts IndIGO in the global map for international collaboration • LSC wide facility would be useful for LSC participation • Functions of the IndIGO data centre • Data archival: Tier-2 data centre for archival of LIGO data. This would include data from LIGO-Australia. LIGO Data-Grid Tools for replication. • Provide Computation Power: Pitch for about 8000 cores • Compare with AEI (~5000 cores), LIGO-Caltech (~1400 cores), Syracuse cluster (~2500 cores). • Main considerations for data centre design • Network: gigabit backbone, National Knowledge Network. Indian grid! • Dedicated storage network: SAN, disk space • Electrical power, cooling, Air-Conditioning: requirements and design • Layout of rack, cabling • Hardware (blades, GPUs etc.), middleware (Condor, Globus), software (Data Monitoring Tools, LALApps, Matlab) IndIGO Data Centre@IUCAA Courtesy: Anand Sengupta

16. Site selection / Bandwidth • IUCAA, Pune. Already host to several large computational facilities.Delhi University? • External 100 Mbps Ethernet is probably sufficient although Gigabit would be better. • LDR tools, GSI security, Grid certificates – tunable parameters to maximize efficiency • At 80 Mbps, 1 day download can fetch a week’s volume of data from Tier1 centres at CIT. • Storage, Cooling, AC • Typical: 1Pbytes on disk at Tier-1 centre. High throughput file system. RDS will require only a fraction of this at Tier-2 centre.Anticipate ~ 4x100TB per year per interferometer. • At a rough estimate, 1000 cores = 35kW. Design Data Centre to hold 2/3 generation of equipment. Project 5-10 years in future. Need power to run the cooling itself, and power for disk storage and servers. Sarah is working out POWER and COOLING requirements in detail. • Hardware / Cabling Commodity off –the shelf computers, power efficient blade servers, standard equipment racks. High density configurations. Co-exist with other user communities if need be. Typically top of the rack GigE switch to the machines in the racks and 10GigE to a central switch. • Middleware/Software/Security • Globus, VDT, Condor • Job management system • GSI for user authentication across LSC + IndIGO Consortium Logistics involved Courtesy: Anand Sengupta

17. 100 Tflops = 8500 cores x 3 GHz/core Need 8500 cores to carry out a half decent coherent search for gravitational waves from compact binaries. (1 Tflop = 250 GHz = 85 cores x 3 GHz / core) • Storage: 4x100TB per year per interferometer. • Cost ~ 25 crores (Comp. hardware alone) • 3/4 crores startup - to facilitate the close Intl. interactions required with existing LSC data centres & labs . Large scale LD analysis tools training required. Summer internships, meetings/conference/schools,… • As part of planned HPC data centre at IUCAA ?

18. National Knowledge Network • IndIGO data centre will need a high bandwidth backbone connection for data replication from Tier-1 centres as well as for users to use the facility from their parent institutions. • NKN can potentially provide this facility between IndIGO member institutions. • Outstanding issues: International connections, EU-India Grid • The philosophy of NKN is to build a scalable network, which can expand both in the reach (spread in the country) and Speed. • Setting up a common network backbone like national highway, wherein different categories of users shall be supported.

19. Future GWDA Plans of IndIGO (as part of LSC) • Project leads: Sanjit Mitra, T. Souradeep, S. Dhurandhar … • Extend GW radiometer work (Mitra,Dhurandhar, TS,…2009) • Implementation of the cross-correlation search for periodic sources (Dhurandhar + collab.) • Burst Sources • Formulation • Implementation Courtesy: S. Dhurandhar

20. Vetoes for non-Gaussian noise for coherent detection of inspirals • Project leads: Anand Sengupta, Archana Pai, M K Harris. • Non-Gaussian noise plagues the detector data • Vetoes have been developed in LSC for removal of non-Gaussian noise in the single detector case • For coincidence search the veto is obvious but for coherent not so. • Developing a veto for coherent is crucial – chi squared • Scope for improving the current chi squared test – Japanese collaboration Courtesy: S. Dhurandhar 8th February Delhi

21. Tests of General Relativity using GW observations Project leads:   K G Arun, Rajesh Nayak and Chandra Kant Mishra, Bala Iyer • GWs are unique probes of strong field gravity. Their direct detection would enable very precise tests of GR in the dynamical and strong field regime. • Preparing data analysis algorithms for AdvLIGO in order to test GR and its alternatives is one of the important and immediate goals of LSC. • Plan to take part in the activity to develop parameter estimation tools based on Bayesian methods. • Possible collaboration with B S Sathyaprakash (Cardiff University) & P Ajith (Caltech).

22. Indo-US centre for Gravitational Physics and Astronomy APPROVED for funding (Dec 2010) • Centre of Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) • Exchange program to fund mutual visits and • facilitate interaction. • Nodal centres: IUCAA , India & Caltech, US. • Institutions: • Indian: IUCAA, TIFR, IISER, DU, CMI - PI: Tarun Souradeep • US: Caltech, WSU - PI: Rana Adhikari

23. LIGO-Australia: Idea and Opportunity • The NSF approved grand decision to locate one of the planned LIGO-USA interferometer detector at Gingin site, W. Australia to maximize science benefits like baseline, pointing, duty cycle, technology development and international collaboration. • The proposal from Australian consortium envisages IndIGO as one of the partners to realize this amazing opportunity. • - Indian contribution in hardware (end station vacuum system, and controls), Data centre, manpower for installation and commissioning.

26. How much space is required for a data centre of this size • Specific to the data centre design and density of racks uses • Here is an example of University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s NEMO cluster • 780 CPUs x 2 cores per CPU = 1560 cores. AMD Opteron (dated). • 1400 Sq feet, 100 ton AC units • This was 5-6 years ago. Now we have much higher density racks. • Take 12 core per CPU (available today) = 9360 cores in the same space! This means that a size of around 1400 sq feet would be sufficient for our purposes. • Interconnect • Infiniband is NOT a requirement • This brings down the cost of the data centre substantially • Gravity wave analysis is Data parallel [high throughput, high data volume driven] rather than task parallel. • GigE switches will be sufficient, although high speed storage will be a requirement.
