e-Science in Germany – a short Overview

Anton Frank PLAN-E Workshop, IEEE Conf., Munich, 03/09/1915

Term “e-Science” was used some

years ago, but is only barely used

these days

D-Grid Integration Project

Services: Grid Middlewares (Globus Toolkit, UNICORE, gLite)

AA infrastructure

Support for Virtual Organizations

Monitoring, accounting

Basic infrastructure and services for communities

03/09/2015 5

Similar structure as D-Grid (HTC resource, middlewares GT, UNICORE, gLite)

Regional grid infrastructure for Baden-Württemberg

Esslingen, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Konstanz, Mannheim, Tübingen, Ulm

Very successful (e.g., > 200 publications)

No Virtual Organisations!

Now: bwHPC – C5

Exclusive use of SuperMUC in block operation mode for selected

projects

Entire SuperMUC reserved for 3 days for challenge

Goal: Scale up applications to run on all of the 144,000 cores

Service

Testing, debugging, performance tuning, supervised production runs

One-to-one support

Pre-requisite: demonstrate successful run on 32768 cores

So far 20 applications scaled up to use the whole machine

One workshop every year: July 2013, June 2014, June 2016

Urgent Computing with Special Emphasis on Hydro-Meteo Disaster Management

Winter Semester 2013/2014

http://www.nm.ifi.lmu.de/teaching/Vorlesungen/2013ws/UrgentComputing/

Large interest by university professors to include IT service presentations (given by LRZ) into

their standard domain science lectures

Leibniz Supercomputing Centre

EU Call: Centres of Excellence for computing applications

(01/2015) [ rejected]

Target domain: Environmental Sciences

Observation: Application software with high scientific value

(and large investment) may eventually vanish/perish due to

profane/non-scientific reasons

Objective: Sustainability of scientific software by supporting

community building

Approach:

Consulting on professional software development

Quality enhancement (interfaces, performance,

documentation, interoperability etc.)

Sustainable maintenance and support, community assistance

There is no such thing as „eScience in Germany“

Term is not used (anymore). Reasons?

eScience not concentrated at dedicated centres

Computer centres, research centres, universities cover various aspects, but often

not very coordinated

German „eScientists“ only barely represented at IEEE conference

(compare to Sweden, UK, the Netherlands, etc.)

How could PLAN-E help to raise awareness and to coordinate the activities?


Conclusion


Thank you!
