*ChinaGrid-2: the 2nd phase of ChinaGrid

Outline
Main achievements of ChinaGrid-1 General plan of ChinaGrid-2


Achievements of the First Phase
Large-scale and high-performance grid environmentBuild up a grid system covering more than 20 key universities all over the countryGather computing capabilities up to 16TF and storage capacities to 180TBSupport IPv6 network environment depending on CERNET2


ChinaGrid Support Platform (CGSP)The grid middleware for ChinaGridFollow the WS-Resource Framework (WSRF) and Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA)Developed by the joint working group from HUST, THU, PKU, BUAA, SJTU, and other universities in ChinaGridInstalled in all the ChinaGrid universities
Achievements of the First Phase


Bioinformatics Grid
Provide more than 120 kinds of software tools and 35 types of related database services. Since Jan.1, 2006average daily hits get up to 37750 times and highest hit reaches 218000 times per day.


Image Processing Grid
Provide 35 kinds of image processing grid services, more than 3000 case data, about 100,000 medical pictures, about 10,000 diagnose materials and implement the information integration of five medical organizations including three hospitals


CFD Grid
Integrate more than 30 kinds of commercial/teaching software, provide 40 kinds of CFD grid services, and provide grid computing environment supporting for 2 items of the Second Prize of Progress in National Science and Technology.


Massive Information Processing Grid
Carry out the integration of digital museum resources of 12 universities, provide more than 100,000 digital specimens in 4 species; Support the data processing for AS experiment of Yangbajing of Tibet and the AMS experiment in the space


Course On-line Grid
Provide free VoD services about education based on 22 servers of ChinaGrid. The video resources include more than 300 college courses from 20 key universities and many displines. The total length is more than 8000 hours and the average daily hits amount to 5,000.


General Plan of ChinaGrid Phase 2
Expand the scale of ChinaGridBuild high-performance grid centers and enlarge number of campus gridsDevelop the key technologies of ChinaGrid Enforce the development of the second phase of CGSPExploit the typical applications of ChinaGridApplications should have extensive requirement, promote academic discipline development, and have great prospectiveBuild management organizations of ChnaGridGuarantee ChinaGrid to run steadily and high efficiently by a set of management organizations


Mission 1Construction of Grid Resource
Build 6 high performance grid centers of ChinaGridForm core nodes of grid environmentEquip computing capability with 100TF and storage capacity with 1PBIncubate pilot grid applicationsGrid resources are managed with full authority by ChinaGrid team and are open to the society freelyExplore the market mechanism of grid resourcesTake on the duty of the regional grid centerBuild 40 campus grid systemsExpand the campus grid systems from 20 to 40 Build high performance computing environment by each participating universities


Mission 2Research and Development of CGSP
Main content of the second phase of CGSP Functioncomputing service system, data service system, information service system, web-based programming interface, virtual machine based job scheduling, security management, monitor and et alPerformanceEfficiency, stability, practicability, and ease of use Routinestandardization, internationalizationTeam workconcentrated development combining with development of different regionindependent development combining with cooperative development


Mission 3University Digital Museum Grid
Based on the first phase construction of University Digital Museum GridImprove resources accessing efficiencyReform the specimen service qualityProvide more friendly interfaceIncrease user population constantly UDMGrid includes 40-50 digital museums of 10 cities and has 300,000-400,000 digital specimens of information


Mission 4 e-Research Grid
Improve research ability in various disciplines with grid technologyResources sharing and cooperatingResource pool of various disciplineDispatching and intercommunication platform of each discipline informationProblem solving environment for each disciplineTypical applications of each discipline on the basis of grid technology


Mission 4 e-Research Grid
Build e-Research Grid in 10 disciplines and develop typical grid applications


Collaboration Consideration with EU
Research collaborationVirtualization technologyIWVT08 (http://grid.hust.edu.cn/IWVT08)EUV08 (http://grid.hust.edu.cn/EUV2008)ISVT09 sometime next yearInfrastructure interoperabilityCGSP interoperate with GPECGSP source code be adopted by GlobusCloud center for domain-specific applications10 e-Research grid in ChinaGrid-2
