ENEA-GRID has been developed since 1998 and now it is an integrated infrastructure:

• offering a production quality, service oriented system

• covering most of the computational resources belonging to ENEA INFO Scientific Computation Service, connected in a Wide Area Network.

• providing a unified user environment and an homogenous access method for all ENEA researchers irrespective of their location

• implementing tools to facilitate the integration of department and individual resources and support to experimental facilities

ENEA GRID & GRID PARADIGM“GRID concept: coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations”

Foster & Kesselman, The Anatomy of the Grid, 2001

ENEA GRID infrastructure has been designed to provide a multisite resource sharing inside ENEA, both to optimize the utilization of Central Computer Service (ENEA INFO) resources and to integrate the other resources available inside the organization.

VO concept can not be fully developed inside an unique organization but similarities can be found with Project Groups sharing specific resources and ENEA GRID components can provide support to this (AFS groups, LSF resources).

There are cases where ENEA GRID infrastructure has been used in support to the collaboration with other institutions (+ other GRID projects)

Page 45: GRID computing Frascati 14/10/2004 migliori@enea.it  .

GRID computing Frascati 14/10/2004 [email protected] www.telegrid.enea.it

ENEA GRID architecture answers to many of the challenges posed by the “GRID Problem” : “unique authentication, authorization, resource access and resource discovery”, Foster & Kesselman 2001

ENEA GRID & GRID PARADIGM

The choice of mature components (LSF & Citrix - proprietary, AFS - opensource project since 2000) reduce the generality of ENEA GRID as a GRID model but improves greatly the reliability and the easiness of update & management: production quality infrastructure.

ENEA GRID EXPERIENCE

Some consideration can be drawn from the analysis of the operation of ENEA GRID infrastructure in the last years.

User acceptance of GRID working mode requires a new cultural approach to the access to computational resources and depends strongly on the service quality:

● “Value” of the accessed resources

● Efficient networking and system faults monitoring

● Support of user customization for GRID environment

The administration of a distributed & integrated resource system is a technical, cultural and organization challenge in a diversified structure as ENEA.

ENEA GRID improvements in progress

Increasing resources: AIX +32 SP nodes/Frascati, Cluster 16 AMD 64bit/Casaccia, Cluster 8 G5/Trisaia, 2 CPU AIX/Brindisi (TELEGRID Project).

Extending Windows services.

AFS optimization.

Studies in collaboration with CASPUR to manage the replication of large amount of data over WAN with better performances than AFS.

Participation in CASPUR storage technology tracking activity (SAN systems and file systems testing and evaluation, AFS implementation for parallel systems [IPP Garching]=> DEISA Grid Project)

Connection with other GRID Projects

Each GRID project is characterized by its own architectural design and middleware.

The focus of the partecipation of ENEA INFO in other GRID projects is GRID interoperability

Access to ENEA GRID through other GRID models should be compatible with ENEA GRID architecture: gateway implementation.

Current GRID projects:

● EGEE [Datagrid]

● FIRB/Grid.it : WP13, Computational Chemistry (CHEMGRID), Perugia Univ., ENEA Casaccia, et al. ENEA activity starting July 2004 at Frascati

ENEA GRID and DATAGRID PROJECT

ENEA has partecipated (unfunded) in DATAGRID project (ended 3/2004) through the collaboration with ESA, ESRIN Laboratory in Frascati.

A gateway bewteen DATAGRID infrastructure and ENEA-GRID has been set-up at ESRIN enabling the submission of jobs from DATAGRID to ENEA-GRID

The gateway has been tested running the analysis of the data from the GOME satellite (Ozone level) using IDL codes which can be easily run in a multiplatform environment.

The gateway provided a limited integration between the different GRID environment: EGEE should a attain a full integration

ENEA-GRID and EGEE Project

EGEE (Enabling GRID for e-science in Europe) is a project in the 6th EU framework program, with the mission to deliver production level GRID services [www.eu-egee.org].

ENEA is one of the funded partners in the project, inside the Italian partecipation which is coordinated by INFN.

EGEE project is starting (April 2004); a kick-off Meeting has been hold in Cork, April 2004.

The installation of a small testing environment (7 Linux boxes) with standard EGEE middleware is currently in progress at ENEA Frascati.

The development of a gateway to ENEA-GRID will follow.
