DEISA: Enhancing European Supercomputing Through Distributed Infrastructure Collaboration

DEISA (Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications) is an initiative led by European national HPC centres in collaboration with technology providers, user groups in science, and R&D grid projects. Its primary goal is to establish and operate a production-quality distributed supercomputing facility, akin to TeraGrid, addressing the high-performance computing needs of European computational science. The initiative has committed significant resources, including 148 IBM pSeries 690 nodes, and aims to enhance collaboration and technology transfer across European HPC systems.

Presentation Transcript

  1. DEISA : perspectives • Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications • Initiative conducted by European national HPC centres in partnership with technology provider organizations, user groups in science and technology, R&D grid projects, etc. • Main purpose : deploy and operate a production quality, distributed supercomputing facility (the European analog of TeraGrid) • European FP6 Integrated Project in preparation : • 148 32-way IBM pSeries 690 nodes ( more than 20 Tf) already installed or commited for 2003 by national research organizations • Funding required to provide dedicated network interconnect and auxiliary infrastructures, as well as support for operations, high lever services to users, technology transfer actions and grid R&D

  2. DEISA partners Full partners : national HPC Centres : • RZG, Max Planck Society, Garching , Germany • FRZ, Julich, Germany • EPCC (HPCX UK project), Edimburgh, UK • CSCS, Manno and ETH, Switzerland • CINECA, Bologne, Italy • CSC, Helsinki, Finland • IDRIS, Orsay, France • Technology partners : • IBM Europe - USA • CEPBA, Barcelone, Spain • Others (network providers, …) • Associate partners : for the extended project.

  3. DEISA: project structure • Core project : • Building and operating a production quality distributed facility, by providing single system image of homogeneous supercluster as well as global data managment at a continental scale. • Major focus is impact on European computational science. • Restricted to a fixed number of full partners. Builds on pre-existing infrastructures independently deployed by each national organization • Extended project : • Interface the distributed terascale facility with the complementary high-end systems and servers of all kinds that populate the European IT systems for science and technology (heterogeneous grid) • The extended project is carried with associate partners (scientific and industrial virtual organizations, technology providers) • Cooperation with other grid R&D projects • Technology transfer from grid R&D to national and european HPC infrastructures.
