  1. GISELA : • A Resource Provider • An opportunity for VRCs • Ph. Gavillet on behalf of the GISELA Project • EGI Technical Forum, 19th-23rd September 2011 • Lyon (France)

  2. GISELA as Resource Provider General is much experienced in Grid computing has a powerful Infrastructure complies with EGI policies & recommendations Specificities Both Service (gLite) and Opportunistic Computing (OurGrid) supported EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 3

  3. Long record in e-Science support • Fruit of 5-6 year experience of successful e-Science EU-LA Collaboration, through EU funded projects (EELA, EELA-2, GISELA) • Present in almost all LA countries • Most encompassing e-Infrastructure for scientific collaborations between Latin America and Europe • Sound long-term sustainability approach rooted on CLARA, NRENs, LA NGIs EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 4

  4. Year 1 Year 2 Pledge Powerful e-Infrastructure in Latin America “Extra” resources for the prod.vo.eu-eela.eu VO EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 5

  5. Resource Centers contributions Cumulative GISELA contribution per site (normalised CPU.hours) EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 6

  6. EGI compliant Infrastructure • EGI – UFRJ (on behalf of GISELA) Resource Provider MoU • EGI compliance is based on the adoption of common services and practices • The Operational Level Agreement (OLA) (http://documents.gisela-grid.eu/record/87?ln=en) • Monitoring System (Nagios) • Ticket System (xGUS) • Accounting System (APEL) • Middleware (gLite) • Resource database (GOCDB) • Operations Dashboard EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France

  7. Specificity: gLite <-> OurGrid interoperability • Latin American context: • Large Universities (UFRJ, USP,…) in International collaborations thus complying with the corresponding computing model and middlewares (gLite, OSG,..) • Several small Universities naturally adopting the Desktop-based opportunistic Grid approach and using the OurGrid middleware EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 8

  8. GISELA: an opportunity for VRCs Platform for all kinds of Applications Offers a series of well-supported Services (e.g. DIRAC) Training & Support Collaborates with EGI and Regional Initiatives EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 9

  9. Platform for all kind of Applications / VRCs VRCs A few largeVRCs from Life Sciences (e.g. WeNMR, Biomed), Earth Sciences (WRF4G, Seismic simulations) and HEP (Auger, LHC expts) Legacy: EELA-2 User Communities, typically 1-2 Institution group(s), largely located in Latin America 34 Applications are in a production stage MoU signed with EGI-InSPIRE enables… VRC members in Europe exploit GISELA resources VRC members in LA exploit EGI resources (most usual) Publishing GISELA applications in the EGI Applications data base http://appdb.egi.eu/ EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 10

  10. Usage statistics Accumulated CPU-hours, grouped by VOs: prod.vo.eu-eela.eu: catch all VO (Earth Sciences, EELA-2 legacy,..) EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 11

  11. Portfolio of Services • Supported services (extract) : • Application-related Services • Job Catalogue, File and Data Management • Digital archives, Secure storage, WatchDog, lcg-rec toolkit • Data processing and user analysis services • DIRAC: workload and data management system • Possibility of development of new services • Industry portal • Dynamic creation of Customised Virtual Clusters (CVC - Uniandes) • Development of a VRC-driven Web site EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 12

  12. DIRAC as a complete VRC solution • DIRAC is a complete VRC Grid solution • Already used by several large VRCs: • HEP (LHCb, Belle, ILC, Magic) • BIOMED(VIP) • Development coordinated by CPPM (Marseille), a GISELA Partner • Fully supported within WP6 EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 13

  13. Collaboration with EGI & Regional projects • EGI • Resource Providers MoU, signed with EGI-eu • Project MoU (Dissemination, Training, Support tools & Services), signed with EGI-InSPIRE • EGI-related projects / Regional Initiatives • DEGISCO (UFCG-Brazil also partner) • Volunteer computing support (gLite <-> OurGrid bridge) • CHAIN (CLARA, INFN, CIEMAT also partners) (MoU foreseen) • Focus on VRC support (e.g. training) • EPIKH (Brazil: CEFET/RJ, UFRJ, Chile: UTFSM, Mexico: UNAM) • Joint sponsoring /organisation of Tutorials & Workshops (MoU signed) • EU-IndiaGrid2 (MoU signed) EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 14

  14. GISELA interests Welcome international VRCs Interest in VRCs collaborating with LA Efficient communication scheme between VRCs and GISELA Efficient collaboration with EGI on VRC support EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 15

  15. GISELA interests (1/2) • Welcome international VRCs • DoW: “GISELA is open to collaboration with institutions / projects, public or private, whose activities are compatible with its Objectives” • On top of mentioned VRCs, production from Earth Sciences (Academia Sinica), Astrophysics team (UFRJ-BR), Solid state physics team (UFRJ-BR) • Interest in VRCs collaborating with Latin America • GISELA is naturally (but not exclusively) looking for existing or foreseen collaborations with Latin America • GISELA <-> VRC: Simple, albeit efficient communication scheme • Vilnius – EGI UF • At an early stage have a concise Technical document defining the characteristics of VO, Applications, WE, SE, batch queues, support aspects,… • One point-to-point interface covering all matters (VO-related, training,...) • Definition of a simple follow-up scheme, monitoring of activities based on standard tools (e.g. NAGIOS screen…) • Lyon – EGI TF • Status: to be discussed at this Workshop EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 16

  16. GISELA interests (2/2) • GISELA – EGI: Efficient cooperation via the User Community Support Team(UCST) and the User Communities Board (UCB): • EGI-InSPIRE – GISELA Project MoU as instrument to coordinate VRC support • Common (RPs – VRCs – EGI) dissemination / outreach activities • Common participation in UCST, UCB • GISELA – e-ScienceTalk MoU (signed) as instrument of coordinated dissemination • Use channels as the GridCafé, GridCast, iSGTW and GridGuide • Cross participation in Forum, Conferences,… EGI Technical Forum - 19-23 September 2011 - Lyon / France 17
