  1. The first yearof the Estonian Grid Andi Hektor andi.hektor@cern.ch NGN Workshop in Linöping Oct 20, 2004

  2. Birth of the Estonian Grid (EG) Jan 29, 2004: the CA (and the phone of the RA), the country GIIS, the first CE

  3. Brief history of the EG • Jan '04: first components of the EG: EG CA, country level GIIS and first test clusters • Jan '04: NorduGrid technical meeting in Tallinn • Feb '04: Centre of High Energy Physics and Computational Sciences at NICPB • Mar '04: some first multiprocessor clusters join the EG • Apr '04: CP/CPA draft for the EG CA • May '04: first scientific software ported to the EG • May '04: Grid laboratory at the Tartu University • Jun '04: establishment of the technical coordination group of the EG • Jun-Jul '04: first massive scientific calculations at the EG • Okt '04: EG technical support group publishes the first article about the first scientific results produced with the EG

  4. Brief history of the EG • Oct 5-7 ’04:The first Baltic Grid meeting

  5. Current situation of the EG • Choice of middleware: NorduGrid ARC • EG CA is trusted by EUGridPMA and NorduGrid • 62 CPUs in the EG (Pentium4 2.2…3.0 GHz) • The country GIIS registers to NorduGrids top level GIISes ☺ ☹

  6. Technical support for the EG users • Technical support and coordination group, 6 persons at the different institutions • Support list: grid-tech@lists.eenet.ee • Web: http://grid.eenet.ee

  7. Know-how centres • Estonian CERN CMS group at NICPB Porting CMS software to NorduGrid CERN Tier 2 plans http://www.nicpb.ee/centre • UT Lab of Grid technology DOUG software Commercial applications • UT Theoretical chemistryUNICORE, OpenMolGridhttp://www.openmolgrid.org • TUT Lab of cluster technology Environmental science Hardware systems • Plans: bioinformatics, medicalapplications, nuclear safety

  8. Structure of the EG EENet NICPB TUT UT Country-level GIIS EG CA Technical support group Technical support group Lectures, seminars, user support Grid Laboratory Centre for HEP & comp. sciences Cluster Laboratory EAS CERN CMS software, Geant4, etc Software for nonlinear dynamics, etc DOUG software, ID-card, etc Commercial applications

  9. Political structure and cost of the EG • The political structure of the EG - the steering committee of the EG is establishing - EENet, NICPB, TUT, UT • The cost of the EG- 0 euros in this year - based volunteers in this year - 4-6 persons are involved, not full-time - the budget of the next year is open

  10. Some excellent possibilities of the EG • Electronic ID-card infrastructure (600 000 ID-cards), it is easy to use for the Grid • Local experiences with E-money and rental software • Good connections to NorduGrid

  11. Support project for the commercial applications Coordinator: The Lab of Grid Technology at the UT Companies and plans: • AS EGeen: analyse of gene information • OÜ Nukufilm:animations and rendering • OÜ Vendomar:testing of the applications • AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus: ID-card and its applications • AS Silmet:nuclear and radiation safety • AS Tallinna Diagnostikakeskus:medical applications • Other: Centre of Radiation Safety, the Ministry of Defence Collaboration: • CMS group at the NICPB • Estonian Grid, NorduGrid • Institute of Physics at the UT

  12. Some applications: Geant4 (1/3) • Medical applications • Nuclear safety • Materials for the nuclear industry

  13. Some applications: Geant4 (2/3) • Mobile gamma spectrometry • Need for modelling: Monte Carlo (Geant4) • Computational power: NorduGridi, EG • Collaboration: NICPB andUT in Estonia; STUK, HIP and MATINE in Finland

  14. Coming applications: Biotech (3/3) • EGeen, Estonian Gene Foundation • Personalized medicine • Analyse of the gene information on the Grid

  15. First scientific results from the EG: nuclear safety calculations using Geant4 • 640 jobs and 2.6 GB of data • The total time of the computations was 417 CPU days. The speed of the CPUs used were between 2.4 GHz and 3.06 GHz (Intel Pentium 4) • 17 failed jobs (2.6%) during the computations and 16 post-processing errors (2.5%)

  16. Thank you and… Technical coordination group of the EG:Mario Kadastik (NICPB), Lauri Anton, Hardi Teder (EENet), Konstantin Skaburskas (UT), Vahur Kotkas (TUT) NorduGrid core developers and Arto Teräs and Juha Lento: helping to set up the first components of the EG Martti Raidal and Eero Vainikko: personal support for the EG Estonian Science Foundation: the grants no. 5135, 5935, 5316 for the applications of the EG EU 6th FP: the grant EC MC MERG-CT-2003-503626 Ministry of Education and Research of Estonia: the support of the technical meetings of the EG, Research Council of Norway (Nordplus Neighbour Programme): the support for the NorduGrid technical meetings Swedish Institute (Visby Programme): the support for Estonian students to study Grid technology at the Lund University.
