International activities of SAITC


The basic priorities that should be achieved in the process of accelerated development of the Information Society in Bulgaria are:

ICT infrastructure development and e-services penetration;

Broadband penetration all over the country Effective information environment and interoperability

standards; Research and Innovation infrastructure development; Encouraging public-private partnerships for investment

in ICT infrastructure and innovation; Providing a full range of e-services for economic and

social challenges; Promoting e-Inclusion.

Information Society Priorities in Bulgaria


ICT networking and affordability

Quality of life and competitiveness

Human capital

Information Society for allInformation Society for all

Impact

Directions

National Program for Accelerated Information Society Development


Coordinated approach – GEANT NW, high performance

distributed clusters – GRIDS and test beds

Knowledge-based economy objective: R&D&I

development in ICT for eHealth, Education, Business,

eGovernment, scientific research and development

Access to GRID resources = optimized scientific and

innovation potential of users + equal participation in EU

scientific and educational initiatives

National program for accelerated IS development and GRID focus


Share of scientific research in the GDP

Expenditure for scientific R & D

Investments in ICT sector

Secured national financing for R & D & I

No. of engaged in ICT R & D

No. of users with access to GRID resources

No. of users facilitating GRID infrastructure

Some indicators of the Program, referred to R & D in ICT and GRID


Bulgarian Grid infrastructure –current status

• 7grid sites supported by 5 BGGC members

• Core Services • BDII, WMS, VOMS, MyProxy,

national monitoring• Support from SAITC, MinEdu NSF,

international projects • BG07-EDU with 8 CPUs is available

for education purposes. It has joined in Gilda T-infrastructure (EGEE-III)

• BG01-IPP will be enlarged soon with more than 672 CPUs, 48TB, and Infiniband interconnect. 42 blade servers, Intel Xeon 4C 2 processors X5570 2.93GHz,

• New site BG08- IOCCP will be joined in grid infrastructure soon with more than 800 logic kernels, 48TBe storage and Infiniband interconnection. 50 servers, Intel Xeon 4C, 2 procs X5520 2.26GHz, 4 cores, 2 threads

National Broadband Program

Aim for its development: for sustainable solution of the fact that the broadband penetration rate in BG (11.2 % 01.2009, 7,6 % 01.08) is still far bellow the EU-27 average (22,9 % 01.2008), remaining one of the lowest in the EU (source: EC report of March 2009)

Milestones: Creation of new broadband infrastructure including

backhaul facilities (e.g. fixed, terrestrial wireless, satellite-based, or combination of technologies) ;

Upgrade of existing broadband infrastructure (e.g. increased reliability, speed, capacity, reach, better quality of service, etc.);

Laying down passive broadband infrastructure (eg: civil engineering works such as ducts, and other network elements such as dark fibre etc), also in synergy with other infrastructures (energy, transport, water, sewerage networks, etc).

New!


Vision: Up to 2013 г. to ensure all Bulgarian citizens to have broadband access

Aim: Maximum coverage, reliable connectivity, high speed and reasonable prices for the end users

- Social and business environment impact- Technological impact: connectivity, networks, infrastructure Principles:- Focus on citizens- Equality- Coordination and cooperation- Market based investments- Sustainable development- Following the EC policies, initiatives and principles


Bulgarian National Research and Educational Network

It is the Bulgarian NREN, incorporating and integrating the

networks of all institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Science, 22

Universities and interconnecting about 2600 Bulgarian schools to

the Pan-European research and education resources trough GEANT

2119 schools already have their computer labs connected to the

network

SAITC supports BREN’s membership in TERENA and RIPE

IPv6 Lab opened for public scientific access in 2008

New!


Building a high-speed fiber-optic ring with an initial transmission

capacity of about 2.5 Gbps and with an option for further increase

up to 10 Gbps

Connecting 27 regional centers and the capital within the fiber-optic

ring by the end 2009 – approx. 5 mln EURO were spent

Providing national connectivity and integration of the National

Electronic Communication Network with the other networks of the

state institutions after 2009

Infrastructure development for 112 emergency calls (2008)

Development of ICT infrastructure for wide public access to electronic services


BG super-computer center figures

√ IBM Blue Gene/P, 2 racks, 2048 PowerPC450 processors (32 bits, 850 MHz), a total of 8192 cores√ Double-precision, dual pipe floating-point acceleration on each core√ A total of 4TB random access memory√ 16 more I/O nodes currently connected via fiber optics to 10 Gb/s Ethernet switch√ 16 more I/O nodes ready to be connected further√ Max LINPACK performance achieved: Rmax = 23.42 Tflops√ 127th rank in the 32nd edition of the world’s TOP500 supercomputers list (Nov. 17, 2008)

More than 2.5 mln. EURO have been spent to set up the super-computer center.There is a call of 0.25 mln. EURO for development of software applications and there will be a second call next year for 0.25 mln. EURO.The plan is to spent approx. 0.25 mln. EURO every year for new applications.
