  1. Enabling Grid and e-Science Projects in the North-West Professor Carole Goble Dr. John Brooke http://www.esnw.ac.uk

  2. Summary of talk • Role and structure of ESNW • Hub and spoke model • Networking and AccessGrid • Two examples of applications • Future strategy Enabling Science in the North West

  3. ESNW Strategy- Bio-Medical Physics and Astronomy Social science Chemistry Semantic and Knowledge Technologies Database Technologies Generic Grid and e-Science technologies

  4. ESNW links and outreach NERC projects RealityGrid myGrid MRC projects ESRC projects Text Mining JISC projects DTI projects Local e-Science NWDA NW-Grid GOSC

  7. £3.18 million UoM investment supplements £1.7 million DTI/EPSRC Virtual presence in spoke nodes Access Grid – deployment of 6 AGs more funded by other means High performance comms fabric- implemented in July 2004 Spoke node strategy PhysicsGrid refurb, re-equip & comms case National Institute for Bio-Health Informatics (funded by NWDA) National Centre for e-Social Science National Centre for Text Mining Core Staff NaCTEM MIB NIHBI Physics Grid Kilburn Building Medical School Jodrell Bank Teaching Hospitals Social science NCeSS Chemistry Rolling out ESNW: Hub and Spoke

  8. Multi-site collaboration

  9. Multicast • AG uses multicast networking • Enables more efficient use of bandwidth • Multicast deployed over JANET core and at most e-Science centres

  10. Other hub and spoke models Hub at Manchester, nodes have specialisms e.g. Collaboratory for Quantitative e-Social Science (Lancaster)

  11. NW-Grid £4.9 million from NWDA 2005-8 • A regional infrastructure but linked to NGS • FOUR grid computational nodes linked to rich facilities, for experiment and visualization. • Explore bioinformatics databases for organism gene expression analysis • Molecular simulation of environmental chemical processes • Design of nano-structures with specific material properties • Remote access to experimental facilities (e.g., SRS, 4GLS, Jodrell Bank) • Statistical modelling of labour market efficiency in social sciences • Aiding drug discovery via high throughput screening of molecules

  12. NetNorthWest • Core connects NW HE institutions at 155 Mbps • Research facilities, e.g. Jodrell Bank • Hospitals, Science parks • Connects to SuperJanet 2.5 Gbps • Then to Dante(EU), Abilene(US), APAN (Japan)

  13. Collaboration and networking • Collaborative technology is critical in e-Science • So is advanced networking • ESNW pursues both on a regional, national and global scale

  14. Collaboration - SCGlobal • Manchester official UK Constellation site Solar Terrestrial Physics Workshop Teleradiology, Denver

  15. Future Strategy - linking institutions • Access Grid Support Centre • Grid Operations Support Centre • National Centre for e-Social Science • National Centre for Text Mining • CCLRC e-Science programme • Lancaster e-Social Science • HEP groups via NorthGrid

  16. Future Strategy - exploiting Grids and networks • NWGrid as organiser and attractor for over 50 NW projects • Compatibility with UK NGS, US TeraGrid, EU EGEE and DEISA • Advanced Networking, ESLEA project, NetNorthWest • Move into broadband, especially linking schools and homes - GRENADE project • Economic basis for self-sustaining Grids, MCS project

  17. More information • John Brooke j.m.brooke@manchester.ac.uk • Web site http://www.esnw.ac.uk • Thanks to all ESNW staff and friends who are too numerous to mention individually
