Enabling Grids for E-sciencE

EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667

The Project• Not a project rather an ‘ecosystem’

– European Commission funds a ‘lot of stuff’– Wants to see there is some ‘joinedupness’

• Where are the project participants from?– Primarily Europe, but international collaborators

• The primary actors– Users: ESFRI projects– Infrastructure: EGI

Goal: Long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe

Approach: Establish a federated model bringing together National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) to build the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI)

EGI Organisation: Coordination and operation of a common multi-national, multi-disciplinary Grid infrastructure

To enable and support international Grid-based collaborationTo provide support and added value to NGIsTo liaise with corresponding infrastructures outside Europe

The ESFRI Roadmap• First edition 2006 and updated in 2008 with 44 projects• Preparatory phase funding for most with second round

soon• About 10 will fly by 2010• European X-FEL first to go real – civil construction

started in 2009 and International convention agreed in September days ago.

• not a technology problem• money and manpower issues• to be determined:

• user behaviour• compression and accept/reject algorithms

• potentially critical: access to data!

Some common features• Multi-year investment in research infrastructures

– Planning phase– Construction phase– Running phase

• These are big, expensive, data intensive experiments– The data analysis component of each project is non-trivial!– An opportunity to leverage a common infrastructure

Next Steps• Collaboration between ESFRI projects• What can e-Infrastructures projects offer ESFRI

– EGEE EGI– DEISA PRACE– GEANT (Network)

• Confirm requirements and identify technical opportunities• How to leverage existing investments and expereinces?
