  2. e-Science and its examples

  3. e-Science ‘e-Science’is about global collaboration in key areas of science,and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it. ‘e-Science’will change the dynamic of the way scienceisundertaken. Director General of Research Councils Office of Science and Technology John Taylor

  4. GRID vs. e-Science <KIPS Review, May, 2003>

  5. From Networking to Grid Computing • Exponential Growth of Network Technology • Network vs. Computer Performance • Computer speed doubles every 18 months • Network speed doubles every 9 months • Difference = order of magnitude per 5 years • 1986 to 2000 • Computers: x 500 • Networks: x 340,000 • 2001 to 2010 • Computers: x 60 • Networks: x 4000

  6. The Driver for e-Science • More and more data • Instrument resolution doubling / 12 months • Instrument and telemetry speeds increasing • Mobile sensors & radio digital networks • Storage capacity doubling / 12 months • More and more computation • Computations available doubling / 18 months • Faster networks can change methods • Raw bandwidth doubling / 9 months • These integrate and enable • More interplay between computation and data • More collaboration: scientists, medics, engineers, etc. • More international collaboration

  7. The New Behavior • Shared Infrastructure • Intrinsically distributed • Intrinsically multi-organizational • Multiple uses interwoven • Shared Software • A new attempt at making distributed computing economic, dependable and accessible • Scientists from all disciplines share in its design and use • Shared & Automated System Administration • Replicated farms of replicated systems • Autonomic management • Immediate Benefits • Faster transfer of ideas and techniques between disciplines • Amortization of development, operation and education

  8. Examples on e-Science Earth Observation Systems severe weather predictions, climate variations, flood monitoring, earthquakes, and tsunami (a tidal wave) Virtual Observatories Robotic Telescopes Bioinformatics / Functional genomics Collaborative Engineering Medical / Healthcare informatics TeleMicroscopy, and so on

  19. Datacentric Applications

  20. Three different kinds of grids • Computational grids • These represent the natural extension of large parallel and distributed systems, and exist to provide high-performance computing • Access grids • This requires managing access to many specific, small resources that are actually located inside large, complex, organizational computer systems and networks • Data grids • These exist in order to allow large datasets to be stored in repositories and moved about with the same ease that small public files can be moved today ☼ Datacentric grids

  21. Facts about online data • They are big and growing fast • Data stored online quadruples every 18 months. • Process power ‘only’ doubles every 18 months. • They are naturally distributed • Data is captured via multiple channels • Operating systems struggle to handle files larger than a few GB • They are hard to move • Pragmatics: Few sites have enough swap space to handle the arrival of a terabyte dataset for temporary use • Performance • Politics: Data about individuals cannot be moved out of jurisdictions with strong privacy rules

  22. Implications of datasets that are large, distributed, and immovable • It’s much more effective to divide programs into separated pieces and send them to data • This requires a datacentric view of computation, rather than the conventional processor-centric view. • A new programming model is needed • Applications must be decomposable • The results of (partial) computations must be small enough to move around • These condensed forms are worth keeping • Execution nodes must be able to provide both computing cycles and high-performance data access.

  23. Some properties • Users can be productiveeven from a thin client • Applications require only thin pipes within the internet • Code mobility is essential • The format and content of a data repository will often be unknown to an application until it actually starts accessing it • Applications will tend to be standardized • Applications will often be built from templates, perhaps even expressed using a query language • Re-execution of an application on a different or updated dataset will be common • There will be increased sensitivity about information leakage

  24. A typical datacentric application

  25. Conclusion • e-Science and datacentric grid are strongly coupled • Meteorology data require dataqcentric grid computing in the future • Typical e-Science characteristics • Huge data size • Poor data site accessibility • Experts are spread over the country/world • Basically all are based on reliable networks • Exact computing on network probabilistic connectivity (one aspect of reliability measures) is theoretically hard • Fast approaches and good enough approximation algorithm are developed (will be published)
