EGEE Infrastructure Enabling Grids for E-sciencE Country participating in EGEE Scale > 180 sites in 39 countries ~ 20 000 CPUs > 5 PB storage > 10 000 concurrent jobs per day > 60 Virtual Organisations EGEE User Forum 2 INFSO-RI-508833

Grids in Europe Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • Great investment in developing Grid technology • Sample of National Grid projects: – Austrian Grid Initiative – DutchGrid – France: e-Toile; ACI Grid – Germany: D-Grid; Unicore – Greece: HellasGrid – Grid Ireland – Italy: INFNGrid; GRID.IT – NorduGrid – UK e-Science: National Grid Service; OMII; GridPP • EGEE provides framework for national, regional and thematic Grids EGEE User Forum 3 INFSO-RI-508833

EGEE as partner Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • Ongoing collaborations – with other European projects � GÉANT � DEISA � SEE-GRID – with non-European projects � OSG: OpenScienceGrid (USA) � NAREGI (Japan) – with non EU partners in EGEE: US, Israel, Russia, Korea, Taiwan… • EGEE as incubator – >10 related projects have been created EGEE User Forum 4 INFSO-RI-508833

EGEE Applications Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • >20 applications from 7 domains – High Energy Physics – Biomedicine – Earth Sciences – Computational Chemistry – Astronomy – Geo-Physics – Financial Simulation • Further applications in evaluation Applications now moving from testing to routine and daily usage EGEE User Forum 7 INFSO-RI-508833

Toward EGEE-II Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • EGEE-II proposal submitted to the EU – On 8 September 2005 – Proposed start 1 April 2006 • Natural continuation of EGEE – Emphasis on providing an infrastructure for e-Science � increased support for applications � increased multidisciplinary Grid infrastructure � more involvement from Industry – Expanded consortium � > 90 partners in 32 countries (Non-European partners in USA, Korea and Taiwan) � Related projects � world-wide Grid infrastructure � increased international collaboration EGEE User Forum 8 INFSO-RI-508833

Sustainability: Beyond EGEE-II Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • Need to prepare for permanent Grid infrastructure – Maintain Europe’s leading position in global science Grids – Ensure a reliable and adaptive support for all sciences – Independent of project funding cycles – Modelled on success of GÉANT � Infrastructure managed centrally in collaboration with national bodies (in EGEE-II: JRU s) Permanent Grid Infrastructure EGEE User Forum 9 INFSO-RI-508833

Grid Organization Enabling Grids for E-sciencE Objectives – Operate production Grid infrastructures for all sciences – Integrate, test, validate and package Grid middleware – Provide advice, training and support to new user communities Permanent Grid Infrastructure EGEE User Forum 10 INFSO-RI-508833

Summary Enabling Grids for E-sciencE • EGEE/EGEE-II marks the most significant move from prototype testbeds to production grid environments – Unprecedented scale of a world-wide grid infrastructure – Federated approach building on existing national grid initiatives – Proven working model for operations and deployment – … • Next logical step : towards long-term sustainability – Ensure that the grid infrastructure used for your work today will still be there tomorrow – Protect investments of application developers and users • Basic requirement: a suitable funding mechanism and instrument for ensuring sustainability EGEE User Forum 11 INFSO-RI-508833

Cooperation with e-IRG Enabling Grids for E-sciencE e-Infrastructures Reflection Group: e-IRG Mission: … to support on the political, advisory and monitoring level , the creation of a policy and administrative framework for the easy and cost-effective shared use of electronic resources in Europe (focusing on Grid-computing, data storage, and networking resources) across technological, administrative and national domains. e-IRG Open Workshop: April 10-11, 2006, Linz, Austria � Towards Sustainable e-Infrastructures EGEE User Forum 12 INFSO-RI-508833
