Outline of the Presentation

A Brief Overview of the GRID Concept

The European Union Effort in GRID

The CoreGRID Network of Excellence

Conclusion


A Grid definition… from the Globus project

Analogy with the power grid– Processing power = Electricity

Flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among– dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and

resources (from “The anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations”)

Enable communities or virtual organizations (VO) to share– geographically distributed resources as they pursue

common goals

Different type of resources– Computers, storage, sensors, networks, visualization,

software, …


The Nebulous GRID: from concept to implementations


Different kind of Grids

Information Grid: Sharing knowledge– The Web : one of the killer application of the Internet

Storage Grid: Sharing data– Music, Video, …: the killer applications– Scientific data

Computational Grid: Aggregating computing power– Virtual Supercomputing– ASP metacomputing– Internet computing or desktop grid : killer apps here !


Computational Grids: several « visions »Like for electricity (nuclear, hydraulic, wind, …)

Virtual Supercomputing– A combination of several

supercomputers geographically distributed (10-1000)

– Ex: Globus, Legion, Unicore

Internet computing– Desktop Grid, Scavenging Grid– A combination of a large number of

PCs (10000-1000000)– Use of idle PCs (cycle stealing)– Ex: Seti@home, xTremWeb

Metacomputing– A combination of several

applications servers– Ex: Diet, NetSolve, Ninf

Network of Excellence (NoE) - objectives

To reinforce or strengthen scientific and technological excellence on a given research topic

– By integrating the critical mass of expertise needed to provide European leadership and be a world force

– Around a Joint Programme of Activity (JPA)

Structuring European research by integrating research capacities across Europe

• Strong and durable integration• To progress knowledge on a particular theme

Overcome the fragmentation of European research

To act as a “Virtual Centre of Excellence”

To spread excellence beyond the partners


A clear evidence of fragmentation

CoreGRID objectives

To build a European-wide research laboratory– Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such

worldwide – To achieve integration and sustainability

To build solid foundations for GRID and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies – Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis.– Support medium and long term research activities

Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community

Gather and disseminate European research

A think-tank for spin-off projects– EC funded, bilateral projects, international cooperations, …


Network priorities

Excellence– CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of

well-known experts in GRID and P2P research allowing to compete with research and development in US and Japan

– An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well identified challenges

Long-term integration & structuring– Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with

an associated management• With several Institutes• With research groups assigned to Institutes

A set of well identified research challenges

Knowledge & Data Management– Handling information/data that are required/produced by a wide range

of diverse processing powerProgramming Model

– Making the programming of Grid infrastructures as simple and transparent as possible

System Architecture– Designing the next generation Grid middleware

Grid Information and Monitoring Services– Scalable information service to implement a service view of the Grid

Resource Management & Scheduling– Scheduling jobs/applications/tasks/computation within a Grid

environmentProblem Solving Environments, tools and GRID systems

– Integrating various middleware, tools and applications for problem solving


Conclusion

CoreGRID started in September 1st, 2004– A very active project although it is in its early stage– Involvement of the main European Key players in Grid

computing (both institutions and researchers)– The only one Network of Excellence in Grid funded by the EU

International collaborations– Still to be implemented– High priorities for collaboration with Asia and North America– Should be linked with one of six areas of the joint executed

research programme– Additional funding is required both from the EU and foreign

countries– Modalities for collaborations with non EU countries open to

discussions
