What is e-Science?
• e-Science– “science increasingly done through
distributed global collaborations enabled by the Internet, using very large data collections, tera-scale computing resources and high performance visualization.”
![Page 5: Holding slide prior to starting show. The Internet is about to byte back! Raising Awareness for e-Science & Grid Computing in Industry & Commerce John](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e7b5503460f94b7bdbc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Collaborative Science
LARGE HADRON COLLIDER – CERN
Typical DataRaw = 1 petabyte/secFiltered = 100Mbyte/sec = 1 meg CD ROMS per year
Physicists collaborating in an international experiment ,need to share:
• Data & storage resources• IT resources for: - Information extraction & analysis
- Large scale simulation
![Page 6: Holding slide prior to starting show. The Internet is about to byte back! Raising Awareness for e-Science & Grid Computing in Industry & Commerce John](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e7b5503460f94b7bdbc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Engineering Design
A new aircraft may involve 10,000 engineers from many organisations collaborating, sharing:
• Digital blueprints & specs• Supercomputer simulations• Software and data for
multidisciplinary simulations

Grid, China, Korea, USA, Australia
• Access Grid teleconferencing• Medical staff sharing expertise,
X-rays,patient records,diagnosis data

“Post-Genomic” Bioinformatics
• Biological Databases - larger, more complex & diverse - allows linkage & optimal data exploitation
• Micro Array experiments - e.g. filtering 30 or 40 results out of
1 million
• Simulation of large molecules - Protein folding affects how drugs dock with receptors

Elements in Common• COORDINATED PROBLEM SOLVING
– Beyond client-server: distributed data analysis, computation, collaboration,
– Problem Solving Environments• RESOURCE SHARING
– Computers, data, instruments, networks• “VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS”
– Multi Institutional– Overlying traditional organisational structures– Large or small, static or dynamic

What is the Grid?
• Lots & lots of resources
• Secure remote access across adminstrative domains
• Scalable discovery and seamless composition of diverse resources
![Page 12: Holding slide prior to starting show. The Internet is about to byte back! Raising Awareness for e-Science & Grid Computing in Industry & Commerce John](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e7b5503460f94b7bdbc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Grid Vision
• Where this power is made available as "services" to users with differing levels of expertise
• Where "services" interact to perform specified tasks with a minimum of human intervention
Imagine a world in which computing power is as readily available as electrical power …..
![Page 13: Holding slide prior to starting show. The Internet is about to byte back! Raising Awareness for e-Science & Grid Computing in Industry & Commerce John](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e7b5503460f94b7bdbc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Benefits from the Grid
• Access to more computing and data resources
• Lower cost of computing
• Increased flexibility– to tackle large-scale problems
• Empowers individuals and organisations – towards better collaboration within and
between organisations
