  1. The UK e-Science Program: Next Generation Grid Applications Tony Hey Director of UK e-Science Core Program Tony.Hey@epsrc.ac.uk

  2. e-Science and the Grid ‘e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it.’ John Taylor, DG of UK OST • Requirements of e-Science Grid Application Projects determine services required by Grid middleware • UK Projects focus more on Grid Data Services than Teraflop/s HPC systems

  3. NASA’s IPG Bill Johnston’s vision for the Information Power Grid is to revolutionize how NASA addresses large-scale science and engineering problems by providing persistent infrastructure for • “highly capable” computing and data management services that, on-demand, locate and co-schedule multi-Center resources to address large-scale and/or widely distributed problems • the ancillary services needed to support the workflow management frameworks that coordinate the processes of distributed science and engineering

  4. Human Models Multi-disciplinary Simulations Wing Models • Lift Capabilities • Drag Capabilities • Responsiveness Stabilizer Models Airframe Models • Deflection capabilities • Responsiveness Crew Capabilities - accuracy - perception - stamina - re-action times - SOP’s Engine Models • Braking performance • Steering capabilities • Traction • Dampening capabilities • Thrust performance • Reverse Thrust performance • Responsiveness • Fuel Consumption Landing Gear Models Whole system simulations are produced by couplingall of the sub-system simulations

  5. UK e-Science Initiative • $180M Programme over 3 years • $130M is for Grid Applications in all areas of science and engineering • $50M ‘Core Program’ to encourage development of generic ‘industrial strength’ Grid middleware • Require $30M additional ‘matching’ funds from industry

  6. UK e-Science Projects • $130M for e-Science application ‘pilots’ - span all sciences and engineering • Particle Physics and Astronomy (PPARC) - $25M GridPP and $8M AstroGrid • Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPSRC) - funding 6 projects at around $5M each • Biology, Medical and Environmental Science - funding projects with total value of $35M

  20. Industrial Grid Projects • Grid Application Projects have more than $15M industrial input - mostly major pharmaceutical and engineering companies • Around $24M allocated for collaborative industrial projects for middleware/tools - at present $20M allocated with matching industrial funding - more than 50 companies involved

  21. Open Grid Services Architecture • Development of web services from W3C • OGSA will provide • Naming /Authorization / Security / Privacy • Higher level services: Workflow, Transactions, Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery,… • Exploit Synergy: Commercial Internet with Grid Services
