Successes, Opportunities, Challenges PRAGMA19 Putchong Uthayopas, Kasetsart University
Successes • Community Building • We are still here after all these years? • Best Practice and Idea Exchange • New experiment, new technology • NPACI Rock dominates Thailand now. • Platform for innovation • PRAGMA grid test bed is important place to explore many new ideas • Application Driver • PRAGMA demonstrate many time that large scale application can be run across the world in a cooperative manner. • Creating a new generation of Grid and HPC engineer
What I learn and gain from PRAGMA • How to build a community of researchers • Applying to the building of ThaiGrid project • How to produce some collaborated work? • SCMSweb grid monitoring • Grid Infrastructure setup and maintenance • Improving human resources • Former PRAGMA researchers from KU is now own their company with technical skill learned from PRAGMA • Globus, NPACI ROCKS setup etc. • AIST kindly provide a technical internship for one of our students. • Human network • So many friends from many culture
Opportunities • Rapid Technology Change • Virtualization, Cloud, GPU, Multithreading • Fast optical network (Thailand 10GBps Fiber) • Change in application demand • Disaster Mitigation , Crisis Management • Social Science and Cultural • Development of future generation researchers • Education, training is an opportunity to spread the word
Challenges • Better and stronger PRAGMA community • Current core researchers • Creating next generation researcher from the students • Technical and global • Better applications for a better world • Natural disaster • Bridging the Digital divide • Better Platform for Innovation • Multi-cloud of virtualization and GPU • Better and sustainable model that make the PRAGMA last • Funding model • Organizational model
My Research and Activity • Cloud Computing • Cloud system management with ISP (CS-LOX) • Cloud Storage • Cloud Video Streaming for E-Learning • Xgrid Emulator on Ubuntu • GPU computing • GPU in Remote sensing (with AIT) • GPU in Optimization problem • GPU in Financial Sector • Virtual World • Virtual Temple
