  1. ELIXIR Compute infrastructure • BMS use cases should drive service development • Sustainability issues arise for server hordes Tommi Nyrönen, CSC, Elixir coordinator for Finland For ELIXIR funders meeting in Hinxton, EMBL EBI 12.10.2010

  2. Finland in BMS ESFRI : integratedapproach CSC – Computing & ICT – ELIXIR FIMM – Diagnosticsdevelopment – EATRIS THL – Health & Biobankcollections – BBMRI Biomedicalresearcherslike to constructcomplex, rapidlyevolving software stacks.Large data files Use case: Finnish Gene Atlas contains genome-wide gene marker data for more than 40,000 Finns. Researchers linkFinnishcohortstudies to the atlas and referencestudies (1000G) to understandgeneticcomponents of e.ghighcholesterol, diabetes and heartdiseases (www.euengage.org) Computeprovider:Workflow of the BMS end-usersshouldnotneed to bechanged Cloud interface to clusters and storage encapsulates software environments to improve biomedical institutes' access to ICT centers' resources. Proof-of-concept exists. Metadata!

  3. Vision: integratedcomputenode Data Datacenter 1 O W O W L F Biological information on the Internet R K ELIXIRHub • Transparency for end users. Extension of local computing resource through a cloud interface. Private network • Encapsulates complex software environments created by expert users • Service contains up-to-date EBI/ELIXIR data for further service building • Keeping compliance with federated authentication Datacenter 2 Cloudinterface Computenode Data resource Compute resource Network Datacenter 3 + ComputeCloud Biomedicalinstitutes

  4. During server lifetime 80% of energy is consumed in the operation Infrastructureswhohandlemanyservers act accordingly Recycling 1% Extraction Operation (Cooling, 5% incl. Infrastructure) Manufacturing 40% 13% Transportation 1% Operation (Power) 41% Source: HewlettPackard

  5. CSC is alsoconverting a papermill into a compute/datacentrewith UPM Ltd. Readyby Q1/2012 • High energyefficiency (Target PUE 1.1-1.2) • Minimalcarbonfootprint, sustainableenergysource • Costeffectiveoperations • Energy priceandconsumptionlow • Opportunity for ELIXIR • Conversion in Kajaani ready Q1/2012 • 14.000 m2 existingbuildings for IT hardware. Spaceup to 85.000 m2 • Localhydropowerproduction 30MW • Threehydropowerplants + optionalbio&windenergy = redundancy • Heavy duty UPM energygrid, smallelectricitytransferfees • Liquidcooling & coolclimate • Little naturalhazards (earthquakes, storms etc.) • High qualitynetworktowardsRussia, Europe, US • Structuraldevelopment in NorthernEurope • Reliable country infrastructure and goodengineers

  6. Discussion • Economics of scale and ecologicalfactors in choosingcomputelocations • Cost of electricity and engineering • Facility Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) factor in ELIXIR server centers should meet an agreed standard • Data is delivered for endusersonewayor the other – marginaladdedcost for distributed data centers • Distributedcomputing is feasible for BMS usecases • Cloud interfaces are becoming available from public e-Infrastructures • Software tools can be made "cloud-ready" and run on the chosen provider • Constructiveexpert-to-expertinteractionsbetweenspecializedserviceorganizationsarekey to success
